Police have arrested a man from Bayelsa State connected to the firearm used in the killing of Oghenemine. The arrest was confirmed by a source who spoke to Vanguard on Wednesday night. Two suspects were brought in, one identified as the Bayelsa sender of the gun. The weapon was used by a Delta State police officer in the incident that led to Oghenemine's death. No further details were provided about the second suspect or the circumstances of the arrest. The source stated, "It's confirmed. They just brought in two suspects Wednesday night. One of them is the Bayelsa sender." The report did not specify where the suspects are being held or what charges they may face.
A Bayelsa man is in police custody for supplying the gun that killed Oghenemine, yet the officer who fired it was from Delta. The suspect's origin is central to the narrative, but the officer's role remains unexamined. If the weapon's sender is culpable, questions arise over why the officer who discharged it faces no parallel public scrutiny. The focus on the supplier risks shifting full responsibility away from the one who pulled the trigger.
