Osman Imoro arrested over alleged killing of contractor Daniel Bijadom

The Nkwanta South Police Command in the Oti Region has arrested 37-year-old fetish priest Osman Imoro in connection with the suspected murder of Daniel Bijadom, a 35-year-old contractor. The arrest occurred on October 15, 2026, concluding a search for the victim that lasted nearly three years. Mr. Bijadom was first reported missing on October 16, 2023, sparking a long-term investigation by regional authorities into his sudden disappearance.

Investigations led police to a gruesome discovery in Tuobodom, where parts of the contractor's remains were found buried inside a septic pit. The breakthrough in the case was made possible through a combination of police intelligence and active community surveillance efforts. Local residents and surveillance members worked closely with the Nkwanta South Police to monitor the suspect and provide the necessary information that led to his apprehension this week.

Osman Imoro is currently being held in police custody as the Command continues its inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the killing. Authorities have stated that they will conduct further investigations and gather additional evidence before formally proceeding with legal actions or arraigning the suspect before a court. The discovery has provided a grim resolution for the family of the deceased and the wider Nkwanta South community, which had remained concerned about the case since 2023.
