Police arrest two suspects specialised in killing cab drivers in Delta

Two murder suspects who specialize in killing cab drivers and disappearing with their vehicles have been arrested along the Warri-Sapele road.

The Delta State Police spokesman, SP Bright Edafe disclosed this Wednesday, saying the two young men after picking a commercial sex worker at a busy chain store close to Effurun roundabout called a cab man that took them to a drinking spot in the Osubi area and later to Aziza junction along the Warri-Sapele road.

On the way to the junction according to the Police spokesman, one of the boys in the backseat held the cab man by the neck, adding that the two of them strangled him to death before the girl.

The frightened lady was later pushed out of the vehicle while the suspected murderers disappeared with the cab. The corpse of the cab man was also dumped by the roadside.

Edafe said: “They approached her and negotiated the sum of N50,000 and took her to one club. After the club, they invited a cab man, and the cab man took them to a bar at Osubi. They instructed the cab man to go to Aziza junction in Warri Sapele road, upon getting there, to her surprise, one of the suspects strangled the driver while in motion and she was beaten and asked to bend her face down. After killing the driver, they dragged the driver out and then abandoned the girl in the bush.

“The same syndicate also attacked another cab driver in Benin, but the Cab driver escaped abandoning the vehicle with them. Consequently, on 1st of January 2025, the syndicate brought the car stolen in Benin to scrap yard in Warri to sell. The scrap dealers who were suspicious called the DPO Ekpan who came and arrested them. The two suspects Junior Emmanuel ‘m’ age 33yrs and Julius Samuel ‘m’ age 28yrs confessed that they were serial car snatchers and were the ones who murdered the cab man at Osubi on 15th December 2024. The two vehicles have been recovered from them.“
