Police Inspector Ubi Ebri was given a death sentence for murder by a Delta State High Court in Asaba.

The state capital’s Inspector Ebri was charged with murdering Mr. Ibeh Onyeka, a telephone repairer and vendor, on April 5, 2023, while conducting a stop-and-search operation along Ugbolu Asaba Road.

Young people in the city staged large-scale protests in response to the event.

E.H. Edoema, a Director in the Ministry of Justice, led the prosecution’s allegations that Ebri was a member of the police patrol squad carrying out the stop-and-search operation.

Judge C.D. Diai, who was presiding over the case, found Inspector Ubi Ebri guilty and executed him.

In connection with the heinous murder of a businessman, Chief Emmanuel Bini, by gunmen believed to be assassins who broke into his shop at the well-known Five-Junction in Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area last Saturday, Delta State Police Command agents have detained one suspect.

The Chief was said to have passed away on Monday morning after his lifeless body was reportedly found somewhere in the community of Ebrumede in the Uvwie LGA.

According to DSP Bright Edafe, the police public relations officer for Delta State Command, “for now, one suspect” has been detained in connection with the horrific occurrence.

Chief Bini’s Chemist and PoS shop, remained under lock and key when our correspondent visited the locality on Friday.
It was gathered that virtually all the shops close to that of the deceased which were shut down in his honour throughout Tuesday and Wednesday resumed business only on Thursday morning.

Even though residents in the area were unwilling to make comments about the incident, the shocking demise of Chief Bini has visibly caused devastation to most of the traders at Five-Junction in Agbarho.
One of the traders, Aloysius Odama described Chief Bini as “a very good benefactor who always caters for the wellbeing of others in the neighbourhood.”

Another trader, Madam Roseline Ananaba, lamented the death and called on security operatives to dig deep into the roots of the circumstances.

Recall that a young man said to be Chief Bini’s sales attendant was also reportedly shot dead in the attack on the Chemist and PoS shop when the hoodlums struck on Saturday.

It was gathered that while the sales boy was shot dead at the shop, the hoodlums whisked away the Chief in a vehicle and his remains were eventually discovered later on Monday morning in the Ebrumede community.

Sources, however, said that the other person shot dead was a mentally unstable guy hanging close to the drug store when the assailants struck.

He reportedly tried asking where the invaders were taking the Chief to in their vehicle when they opened fire on his legs. He died at the hospital.
