Christian Chukwuemela Ekikeme, 22, was nabbed at about 6pm on Saturday, following six days of tracking the cult gang that ambushed and killed Mr. Alkali and his driver, Sergeant Peter Uchi, during the 10 December federal legislative re-run polls in the state.
Ekiekeme, also known as Prince Okoroma, an indigene of Okposi village, near Omoku, was arrested by the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Response Team (IRT) in Omoku, when he came out from the creek to visit his girlfriend.
Sources revealed that he confessed to the beheading of the DSP, adding that his head and driver's body were thrown into a river while the white Mitsubishi pick-up van belonging to the police was parked deep in Uju Forest.
He also confessed that he and 9 members of his gang members have seven AK-47 rifles, two pump action guns and that they ambushed the police team because they felt they were against their party.
