Apart from this, family sources also confirmed that the relation of the woman was arrested when he visited his sister in the police station.

“Her brother had gone to see the sister (Mrs. Wobo) in police custody when the daughter of the deceased who had noticed his face the night her father was killed ordered the police to arrest him.After his arrest, the police later recovered the late Wobo’s three telephone sets from him,’’ the family sources also said.

According to the source, there were reasons to believe that Chief Wobo’s death was premeditated as he was poisoned before being tortured and stabbed severally.

However, an elder brother of the deceased who identified himself as Mr. Wobo, said the family was awaiting an autopsy on the deceased as well as police investigation reports and would not jump into conclusion.
