With the determination to hunt for and arrest the killers of Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada Division, Rivers State, SP Bako Angbashim, police operatives in Bayelsa State have nabbed one of the suspects, Onyekachi Ikowa.
The 43-year-old suspect, reported to be the second in command to TuBaba of the dreaded Icelander cult group, was arrested on Saturday, November 18, 2023.
According to the Bayelsa command spokesman, CSP Asinim Butswat, the arrest followed credible intelligence that he was hiding in Yenagoa after participating in the murder of SP Angbashim in September 2023.
The Commissioner of Police, Francis Iduh, who commended the operatives, charged them to fish out any of his cohorts hiding in the state.
CP Iduh stressed that the Bayelsa Command under his watch would not be a safe haven for criminals to hide.
The PPRO said that the suspect had been handed over to the Rivers Police Command for further investigation.
