The suspect arrested is David ThankGod, aged 25, while his younger brother, Joshua ThankGod, aged 23, is still being hunted by security operatives.

According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, David was arrested outside Adamawa State.

“He was picked up in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital,” Nguroje said, stressing that efforts are ongoing to track down the fleeing suspect.

According to SP Nguroje, investigations revealed that the suspects were called back from Lagos by their sister to address the family crisis, a move that eventually escalated into the fatal incident.

“The matter was already a police case before the unfortunate incident,” the PPRO said. 

The k!lling sparked outrage and disbelief among residents, with many describing the incident as one of the most disturbing family tragedies to hit the community in recent times.
