The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, says nine persons have been arrested in connection with the killings of police officers in the Ughelli area of Delta State.<\/p>\n

Egbetokun made this announcement on Thursday at a management meeting of the Force.<\/p>\n

He said those arrested are currently providing the Force with information that will assist in the arrest of those involved in the killings.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that six police officers were killed at Ohoro forest, in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State on February 23, 2024.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, six other suspects connected with the killings are at large.<\/p>\n

Their death came almost at the same time 17 military personnel were murdered in the oil-rich Delta State.<\/p>\n

The soldiers were killed while on a peace mission in Okuama community of Ughelli South Local Government Area in an incident that caused nationwide outrage and condemnation.<\/p>\n

During their burial last week, military authorities vowed to hunt down the masterminds of the attack but insisted the development won\u2019t deter them from stamping out criminals from the country.<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu equally conferred posthumous national awards on the slain soldiers and awarded scholarships to their children.<\/p>\n
