Police sergeant arrested for attempting to steal newborn baby in Imo
A police officer has been arrested in Imo State for allegedly attempting to steal a newborn baby.
The officer, a sergeant identified as Iseke Koradam, allegedly attempted to steal the baby at a hospital in Oke-Uvuru, in the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state.
Koradam was paraded on Wednesday alongside the suspected killers of Oscar Okebata, a retired soldier in the American Army who was robbed and murdered in Atta, in the Ikeduru LGA, on January 12, 2017.
Okebata had travelled home to celebrate the yuletide when he was killed.
The state Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, gave the names of the arrested suspects as Stanley Uchechukwu, Kelvin Onyekachi and Promise Uchendu.
Lakanu said there were “concrete evidence that showed that they murdered the ex-solider.”
The suspects had been traced after they allegedly sold Okebata’s Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone at N125,000.
The CP equally disclosed that the police sergeant and his gang who allegedly planned to steal the newborn baby had confessed to the crime and would be charged to court at the conclusion of investigation.
