A statement by Daniel Ndukwe, the command’s Public Relations Officer, gave the name of the officer as Ozonwanji Joseph.
His unredacted photographs were published by the police.
The statement said Inspector Ozonwaji is currently in custody and will be made to face the full weight of the law upon the conclusion of the investigation.
Meanwhile, the Enugu State Command’s Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu in company of top officials of the State Government on Saturday visited the family of the deceased Ogene musician, Chikezie Okezie Nwamba (a.k.a. Igbo-Jah), to console the family over the unfortunate shooting and murder of the musician by a police officer.
CP Kanayo reassured the family, relatives, friends, and good people of Enugu State that the ongoing investigation into the case will be concluded within record time and justice duly served.
The CP emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force remains a disciplined organisation where erring police officers are made to face the consequences of their actions to serve as deterrence to others.
He restated his sympathy and empathy to everyone affected by the unfortunate and callous murder of the musician, urging all and sundry to keep faith with the police while justice is done to the case.
