The Eastern South Regional Police Command has confirmed the arrest of Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, a 26-year-old Nigerian wanted for the alleged abduction and murder of a woman and her daughter in Nigeria.
The arrest was announced during a press conference held on Sunday by the regional commander, DCOP George Ohene-Boadi.
According to police details, Fejemirokum is the prime suspect in the killing of a female officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.

The Police Command, according to DCOP Ohene-Boadi, on receipt of the information, deployed an intelligence-led operation to arrest the suspect in his hideout.
DCOP Ohene-Boadi indicated that the Ghana Police Service is working with Nigerian authorities to facilitate the suspect’s return to Nigeria to face charges
The Regional Command urged the public to remain vigilant and encouraged residents to report any suspicious movements or activities within their communities to help prevent crime.
