The Police Force is hunting for suspects involved in the killing of the Open University of Tanzania lecturer, Michael Okema, Daudi Banduka and an intelligence officer from Zanzibar, Mohammed Bakari Chendwa.
Last Friday, the Inspector General of Police, Saidi Mwema, promised a big cash reward for anybody who will assist in the arrest of suspects who are still at large.
Efforts by CID officers from Kinondoni Region in the Dar es Salaam Special Zone have succeeded to get a photograph of one of the suspects claimed to have been involved in the killing of the lecturer and another person, which took place last week in Dar es Salaam.
According to the police, the suspect, Peter Matiku (pictured), was working as a street photographer and is a resident of Mtoni kwa Azizi Ali in Dar es Salaam.
Last week, armed robbers killed an Intelligence officer in Zanzibar after shooting him in the head.
The incident took place at around 10.45 PM near the shop owned by Nassoro Mohammed Suleiman.
The bandits had earlier robbed the owner of the shop of 5m/- cash and various cellphone recharge vouchers valued at 12m/-.
However, as the bandits were about to speed away, an intelligence officer suspected their move and blocked the road, using his vehicle with registration number ZNZ 47968.
After the bandits discovered that the road was blocked, one of them shot the intelligence officer in the head and left the scene after shoving the deceased’s vehicle aside.
