A Naval Rating has been arrested over his alleged complicity in the death of a 16 years old girl, Miss Nengi Enenimiete, whose corpse was found on November 2022 in the wardrobe of a hotel located in Twon Brass, Brass local Government area of Bayelsa State.
It was gathered that the Naval Police in conjunction with the operatives of the Nigerian Police and the Community Youths leadership were able to identify and arrest the Naval rating involved in the dastardly act.
A source told newsmen that the arrested Naval Rating is in the custody of the Nigerian Navy located at Egweama in Brass Local Government and will likely be handed over to the Nigerian Police for prosecution after the internal naval trials.

The deceased corpse however showed no signs of physical injuries, mutilation or strangulation. Indigenes of the Twon Brass community are however demanding for an autopsy and arrest of the mystery male guest with the deceased.
