Two Nigerians arrested over alleged murder of compatriot in Tamale
Two Nigerian nationals were arrested at Tatale on the Ghana-Togo border following intelligence-led operations after the body of 36-year-old Nkemujika Uzorchuku Eze was discovered in his bedroom on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The suspects, identified as Daniel Victor Eze and David Oko Ewa, were arrested in connection with the alleged murder of their compatriot in Tamale. According to the police, the suspects allegedly admitted during interrogation that they conspired to kill the deceased following a dispute over proceeds from alleged internet fraud activities.
Officers who responded to the scene found the deceased with a deep cut wound to the forehead and a towel stuffed into his mouth, and the bedroom had been ransacked. Investigators recovered a wooden pestle believed to have been used in the attack. The body was conveyed to the Tamale Teaching Hospital, where a medical officer confirmed the victim dead and it was deposited at the hospital mortuary pending an autopsy. Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased shared a three-bedroom apartment with his wife, Peace Uzorchuku, the two suspects, and another Nigerian national, Godwin Nwafor. A search after their arrest led to the recovery of mobile phones, laptops, a tablet, jewellery, wristwatches, clothing, and personal documents believed to have been stolen from the deceased's room.
