JUST IN: Rivers Police Arrest Killers of SP Bako

Rivers Police have apprehended a man suspected to be the killer of the Superintendent of Police SP, Bako. The arrest of the suspect is a sequel to the gun battle between the joint security operatives and the gang.

The suspect, who was being interrogated, is the latest to be arrested over the gruesome murder of Angbashim on Friday, September 8, 2023, in Odumude Forest following an ambush by a suspected Iceland cult group.

Recall that the operatives of the Rivers State Police Command had earlier arrested six suspects in connection with the murder.

Also, the Rivers State Police Command declared one Gift David Okpara, also known as 2Baba, wanted for the murder of the DPO.

Consequently, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara promised a N100m reward for anyone with information that will lead to the arrest of 2Baba.

When asked where the body of the DPO was taken after he was killed, the suspect denied taking part in the killing.

“I will not lie to you sir when they killed DPO I was not among them, I was across the water when they brought the DPO I swear with Almighty God that created me.

“When they brought his body I couldn’t even look at it I had to hide even I can take you to the place that they brought him.”

When asked the number of guns 2Baba has and who are those that supply him, he said: “I swear to you 2Baba has a lot and I think he has up to 40 and since I have been there, the person that supplies him guns they only communicate on phone. Anytime he needs guns he will call the person and send money to the person.

“When he sends the money through an account he will now inform us that the guns have been delivered and he will go and collect them.”
