The Imo state police command on Thursday paraded five suspected killers of Rev Father Cyriacus Onumnwo who was abducted and later killed in Orlu, Imo State last Friday.
The arrest of the suspects came 24 hours after the state governor, Rochas Okorocha, confirmed the arrest of two suspects in connection with the murder.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Chris Ezike, had last Friday confirmed the kidnap and subsequent killing of the priest.
Ezike said the remains of the clergyman was discovered on Saturday last week in a bush with nothing removed from his car while his body did not bear any gunshot or stab wounds.
Reacting to the killing, family, and friends of the deceased had called on the state government and security operatives to ensure that perpetrators of the dastardly act were quickly apprehended and brought to justice.
Members of the Orlu Catholic Diocese, where the priest was ordained, described him as a good man loved by all.
