The Delta State Police Command has arrested two farm workers, David Tacho and Daniel Orshio, for allegedly conspiring to kill their site manager, Chigozie Udalor. The two were apprehended following a report made by Hyacinth Nnalue, a cousin of the deceased, to the Akwukwu-Igbo Police Division. Nnalue had informed the police on December 12, 2024, that Udalor, who managed a fishpond at Bod Camp in Akwukwu-Igbo, had been missing since December 10, 2024.
A prompt investigation was initiated, with the case eventually being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. According to police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe, the investigation took a significant turn when David Tacho was arrested on March 31, 2025, while attempting to withdraw money from Udalor’s account using his phone. His accomplice, Daniel Orshio, was also taken into custody.
Further investigations revealed that David Tacho’s brother, Victor Tacho, and another suspect, Pius Daniel, are still at large. The police discovered that the suspects, who were all employed by Udalor, had conspired to murder him after learning that he had money in his Moniepoint account. They struck Udalor on the head with a hammer, bound him, and buried him in a shallow grave at the site.
Following the arrests of the two suspects, the police exhumed the victim’s body for an autopsy. Efforts are ongoing to locate the fleeing suspects, Pius Daniel and Victor Tacho.
