Police Arrested 3 Over Hector; Gulder Utimate Search Winner Murder

Late Hector who kept a low profile after winning the competition in 2006 was said to have returned to Nigeria in July, while his wife went to the United States of America to birth their second child. 

According to reports from Vanguard, three suspects have been arrested by the police, in connection with Hector's murder at his residence, 8, Olufowora Close, New Oko-Oba, Lagos.

Confirming the arrest of the suspects, the new Lagos state commissioner of police, Imohimi Edgal, said they were undergoing interrogations. He said:

“Some yet-to-be identified hoodlums pretending to be friends of the deceased, gained access into the apartment of Hector Jobarteh, 38, in the presence of his brother, one Victor Jobarteh, at 8, Olufowora Close, New Oko-Oba. They shot the said Hector on the chest without any dialogue and fled from the scene. The Divisional Police Officer and a team of policemen quickly rushed to the scene after a distress call and the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died. Nothing was removed from his house. The corpse was taken to Orile/Agege Hospital morgue for autopsy. Enquiries carried out from neighbours revealed that the deceased may have been a victim of business transaction that went sour. To us, this is a clear case of murder and all angles are being investigated. I want to use this opportunity to assure the family and indeed Lagosians, that the police will use every asset at its disposal to ensure that perpetrators of this heinous act are not only brought to book, but diligently prosecute"

We hope and pray that police will do a good job in seeing that the culprit of this crime is brought to book.
