Ajayi, who was with the Investigating Officer, said most of the victims live in nearby Iworoko.
He said the suspect usually carries a pistol with which he threatens his victims.

Okoye confessed to the crime.
He was identified by his father, who told the police that the suspect “has been a wayward boy who ran away from home.”
