Investigations into the brutal killing of Dr. Kwaghger have revealed that one Nnamdi Jeremiah ‘M.’ of Umigwe village, Imo State, a student of Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi was responsible for the gruesome murder.

The suspect who was arrested in Abuja where he went to sell the car of the deceased confessed to the crime and further stated that his initial intention was to threaten the victim with a make believe gun and rob him of his car.
