The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two
suspected hired-assassins and a female banker over failed attempt to
assassinate her ex-husband identified as Tochukwu Onyebuchi.
While parading the suspects state Commissioner of
Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, said, “Oluchi, a 32-year old banker, who is
married to one Tochukwu Onyebuchi years ago, got separated from her
husband following some matrimonial problems. The custody of their only
child is currently being contested in the court but Oluchi has another
plan.
She connived with the trio of Chigozie Smart, Kingsley Ikechukwy and
one other who is now at large to eliminate her husband. She arranged
for the weapons which includes cutlass, iron rods and acid which she
kept in her husband’s compound at Ayobo area of Lagos State and
described where she kept it to the assailants.

The suspects
went there on Wednesday as planned and macheted the man severally on
his head and poured the acid on him. The suspects thereafter abandoned
the victim and took away his range Rover Jeep which Oluchi instructed
them to drop at her brother’s place in Onitsha, Anambra State.
.
They ran out of luck when a patrol team of the Ogun State command on
Wednesday sighted the vehicle along the Ijebu-Ode/Benin expressway and
stopped it for search. While searching the vehicle, blood stain was seen
and the two occupants were unable to give satisfactory account of the
blood stain, hence, they were arrested.
.
.
It was during
interrogation that the suspects revealed all that transpired to the
police.” The commissioner said that the victim, who had been treated at
an undisclosed hospital, was in the custody of the police helping them
in the process of investigation.
.

Oluchi, however, denied
contracting the duo of Chigozie and Kingsley and one other at large to
assassinate her husband. Meanwhile, Chigozie told newsmen that it was
Oluchi who hired them to kill her husband with a promise to purchase
“Tokunbo” cars for each of them after a successful operation.
