Revealed! How Cultists Deceived Slain Rivers State DPO

 

 

 

 

The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Emeka Nwonyi, has stated that the late Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ahoada, Bako Angbashim, fell into a trap set by his killers.

 

 

 

 

Nwonyi revealed that the cultists had deceived the late Superintendent of Police, leading him to believe they were willing to surrender their arms in exchange for amnesty.

 

 

 

He made this revelation during a solidarity protest led by human rights advocate Charles Jaja at the headquarters of the State Police Command in Port Harcourt on Monday.

 

 

Nwonyi expressed regret that the late Angbashim had trusted these individuals, only to realize their deceit in death.

Nwonyi stressed that sacrificing police officers who leave their families to protect lives and property is not an acceptable outcome.

He also expressed gratitude to Governor Siminalayi Fubara for offering a N100 million bounty on the prime suspect, Gift Okpara Okpolowu, and other members, for anyone providing information leading to their arrest. He urged patriotic citizens to take advantage of this and assist in the arrest of these individuals.

Earlier, Charles Jaja described Angbashim’s death as a tragic incident and stressed the need to identify and prosecute politicians sponsoring criminal gangs.
