We were interested in Col Inusa’s car –Suspected killers

Suspected killers of Colonel Samaila Inusa, who was murdered on Abuja-Kaduna Expressway three months ago, said they were after the officer’s car and not his life. 

The suspects, being detained at the Kaduna State Police Command Headquarters, were paraded yesterday by the Police Commissioner, Alhaji Adamu Ibrahim.
This came as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has applauded the Inspector- General of Police (IG), Solomon Arase, and his teams of crack detectives on the arrest of Inusa’s suspected killers. Buratai said he was applauding the police, not just on behalf of the Nigerian Army, but also on behalf of the families of the late colonel.
He said: “The Nigerian Army wishes to thank the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase for tracking and arresting the kidnappers and murderers of the late Colonel Samaila Inusa of the Nigerian Army and smashing the deadly kidnapping and armed robbery syndicate.” Speaking with journalists, the prime suspect, Emeka Okeke (44), said they never intended to kill Inusa but he got shot accidentally when the officer tried to wrest the gun from them. According to him, Inusa got killed in the process.
He said: “My group and I specialise in car-snatching, we are not kidnappers. “One Sunday evening, we were on patrol; whenever we are on patrol like that any car we see, we will snatch it. It was in the process we saw Colonel Inusa’s car from Police College down to Refinery Junction where we snatched it.http://newtelegraphonline.com/interested-col-inusas-car-suspected-killers/
