Okeke was killed according to his wife, Blessing Odinakachi, by Chiadiobi, a former tenant of his, after a disagreement.
The Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the arrest of Chiadiobi said the Police Commissioner, Echeng Eworo, gave an order for the suspect to be arrested and questioned over the death of Okeke.
Ikenga also said the suspect had discarded his phone number and gone into hiding when it dawned on him that the killing of Okeke had become public but he was later smoked out by police operatives and is now helping police authorities with its investigations.
Okeke was reportedly macheted and set ablaze by the suspect and later died in an Orthopedic Hospital in Enugu in October 2021 following injuries sustained from the burn.
