See How Female Banker Hires Assassins To Kill Ex-Husband In Lagos

This life, it's only God that is saving His people. Police have arrested two suspected hired-assassins and a female banker over failed attempt to assassinate her ex-husband, Mr. Tochukwu Onyebuchi.

Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu paraded the suspects at the today at headquarters of the state command in Abeokuta.

He said the banker, Oluchi Tochukwu, hired the assassins to assassinate her husband in his residence at Ayobo area of Lagos.

Iliyasu named the two suspected assassins as Chigozie Smart (32) and Kingsley Ikechukwu (36).

He said they were intercepted and arrested on October 19 at Ijebu-Ode while attempting to escape to Onitsha with the victim’s Range Rover Jeep.

Oluchi was also arrested at Ayobo area of Lagos.

He said, “Oluchi, a 32-year-old banker, who is married to one Tochukwu Onyebuchi years ago, got separated from her husband following some matrimonial problems.

“The custody of their only child is currently being contested in the court but Oluchi has another plan. She connived with the trio of Chigozie Smart, Kingsley Ikechukwy and one other who is now at large to eliminate her husband.

“She arranged weapons which includes cutlass, iron rods and acid which she kept in her husband’s compound at Ayobo area of Lagos State and described where she kept it to the assailants.

“The suspects went there on Wednesday as planned and matcheted the man severally on his head and poured the acid on him.

“The suspects thereafter abandoned the victim and took away his range Rover Jeep which Oluchi instructed them to drop at her brother’s place in Onitsha, Anambra State.

“Luck ran against them when a patrol team of the Ogun State command on Wednesday sighted the vehicle along the Ijebu-Ode/Benin expressway and stopped it for search.

“While searching the vehicle, blood stain was seen and the two occupants were unable to give satisfactory account of the blood stain, hence, they were arrested.

“It was during interrogation that the suspects revealed all that transpired to the police.”

NAN reports that the commissioner of police said the man, who had been treated at an undisclosed hospital, was in the custody of the police helping them in the process of investigation.

As usual, Oluchi denied contracting the men to assassinate her estranged husband.

Oluchi, who acknowledged that her three-year-old marriage to her husband had crashed, claimed that she had no reason to kill him.

Meanwhile, Chigozie insisted that it was Oluchi who hired them to kill her husband with a promise to purchase “Tokunbo” cars for each of them after a successful operation
