Suspected Killers of Edo Lawyer Lead Police Team to Exhume Corpse

Date:

The Edo State police command has exhumed the corpse of Mr Omon Iyoha Osobase, a lawyer who was killed by some gang members early in May 2020 following his attempt to settle a quarrel between the said gang members and another party.

The incident is said to have occurred at a bar in Benin City, the Edo state capital where Mr Osobase was subsequently beaten up and taken away in a vehicle.
