Crack detectives are on a serious manhunt for fugitives from justice who police want for crimes of murder, rape, grievous assault, arson and a plethora of other crimes in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State.

NewsNet Nigeria gathered that the need for the police to upscale their hunt for the suspects comes on the heels of the completion of their two-year-long investigation and after a review by the Director of Public Prosecution at the Attorney General’s office in the state.

All the fugitives have been determined to have these very serious cases to answer. Most of them have absconded and have refused to come to court to answer their charges.

One of the suspects was recently apprehended after being trailed by detectives from the State CID.
