Delta State Police Command, Nigeria, has arrested one Lucky Matthew and launched a manhunt over the killing of retired Justice Ifeoma Okogwu.
The Police Spokesperson for the Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement released on Sunday in Asaba, the state capital.
Edafe said: “On November 24, 2025, the DPO of ‘A’ Division, Asaba, received a complaint from the brother of Justice Ifeoma Okogwu (Rtd) that he visited her residence only to discover her lifeless body in the sitting room, with her hands, legs, and mouth tied.
“Upon receipt of the complaint, the DPO swiftly led men to her residence, where the corpse was evacuated and taken to the mortuary for autopsy.
“One suspect, Lucky Matthew, has been arrested, while the principal suspect, Godwin Vanem, is presently at large.”
On the directive of the Commissioner of Police, Delta State, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, the PPRO said the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (Homicide Section) for discreet investigation.
