Michael Osioni, a 74 years old traditional chief and six others have been remanded in prison custody
by an Ozoro Magistrate Court in Isoko North Council Area of Delta State, over their involvement in the abduction and murder of a retired school Principal, Mr. Frederick Dick Ogbo.
According to a member of the deceased family, the men were charged to court after police investigations revealed that they were involved in the abduction and murder of late Frederick on July 7, 2011.
Upon the arrest and interrogation of members of the syndicate, they confessed to the police that they were hired by some family members of the late Principal to abduct and kill him over documents relating to a family land containing oil wells presently being operated by an oil company.
Speaking further, the source said, the statements of the gang members led to the arrest and detention of the traditional chief and some members of the family. He however added that other members of the family involved in the dastardly act are still at large.
The names of the six men were given as: Sunday Otuedor, Peter Ogude (aka Galaxy), Efe Okoro, Oghale Osioni, Michael Akpoeni and Oke Okwebe.
