The Benue State police Command has arrested 2 suspects in connection with the rape and murder of 24-year-old Joy Onoh Ogechukwu in Makurdi, Benue State.
Joy recently graduated from the Benue State University and was billed to go into the NYSC orientation camp within a few days before the tragic incident that took her life.
She is said to own a virtual clothing line and was called by a customer to deliver an order. She is alleged to have been lured into the murderer’s house, raped and hacked to death.
Her lifeless body was recovered in a bush around the Federal Low Cost Estate, North Bank, Makurdi on Wednesday.
One of the sources said the suspects were arrested through the help of neighbours who gave information about their activities on the day Joy was killed.
“One other thing that gave them out was the foot steps of people that were traced to the house, you know it rained in the early hours of the day the corpse of the lady was found.” the source said.
It was reliably gathered that the two suspects were currently being quizzed by the police.
The Special Assistant to the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom on Media, Agile-Bem Jabez Ordedoo, also confirmed the arrest of the suspects.
