In what looks like a fallout of outcry against security insensitivity, the Enugu State Police Command has arrested the suspected mastermind of the herdsmen attack on Ndi­agu Attakwu Akegbe Ugwu community in Nkanu West Local Government Area of the state.

According to a statement by the command’s spokesman, Mr Ebere Ama­raizu, yesterday, the suspected mastermind is Umaru Isah from Gusau, capital of Zamfara. Amaraizu said that the arrest of the suspect followed intelligence made available to the command.

“The Enugu State Police Command, in its resolve to unmask the perpetrators of the attack on Ndi­agu Attakwu Akegbe Ugwu, has nabbed one Umaru Isah over his alleged involve­ment in the incident.

“The suspect, who claimed to be 20 years of age, said he came to Enugu from Gusau in Zamfara State to rear cattle, but has none to rear till now. Investigations are still on with a view to un­masking his gang,” he said.

Amaraizu said the police would, how­ever, stop at nothing to ensure that those involved in the act were apprehended and brought to book.

It would be recalled that sus­pected herdsmen attacked the community in the early hours of Thursday dur­ing which a Catholic seminarian, identi­fied as Mr Lazarus Nwankwo, was killed.

Four other victims of the same family, including a pregnant mother, also received various life-threaten­ing machete cuts on their heads and stomach.
