The late DSP Oshiogbuwe who hails from Auchi in Edo State served in Abuja before his death.

Edo Police spokesman, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed that a search party discovered the body of the murdered policeman said the victim was killed because the kidnappers discovered him to be a policeman through his police identification card and pictures on his mobile phone.
