The Delta State Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of an Uber driver and the assault of a commercial sex worker in Warri.
The arrest was confirmed in a statement released on Friday by the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe.
According to police reports, the suspects hired the Uber driver’s services and invited a commercial sex worker to accompany them to a nightclub. However, after leaving the venue, they allegedly strangled and killed the driver before throwing the woman out of the vehicle.
Edafe’s statement read in part:
“We have arrested these two suspects who hired an Uber driver and also invited a commercial sex worker in Warri around December last year.
“They first took them to a nightclub and then, on their way to the supposed destination, they strangled and killed the driver and threw the girl out of the vehicle.”
