He also declared two suspects wanted in connection with the murder and reiterated the efforts of the command to arrest them. 

He further stated that the command was able to arrest some of the wanted notorious kidnappers and their accomplices, including Mr. Isa Mohammed, a fugitive and key informant from Kuje Correctional Centre.

The Commissioner of Police lamented that some criminals commit crimes in the Federal Capital Territory and then flee to other states, making it difficult to arrest them. 

But in any event, the command said it was committed to maintaining the highest security standards in the city. 

According to an earlier statement from the FCT Police Command, Udokwere was killed on Saturday morning during an armed robbery attack in his estate.
