Police arrest Rivers DPO's murder suspect
One of the suspected killers of SP Bako Angbashim, a former Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada Division, Rivers State, has been apprehended by police officers in Bayelsa State.
In September, Angbashim was allegedly beheaded by cult members.
Asinim Butswat, the spokesperson for the Bayelsa Police Command, affirmed this in a statement issued yesterday.
He said: “The suspect, one Mr Onyekachi Ikowa’,43 years, and second in command to TuBaba of the dreaded Icelander cult group, was arrested on 18 November, 2023 based on credible intelligence that he was hibernating in Yenagoa after participating in the callous murder of SP Bako Angbashim in September 2023.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Francis Iduh, has charged police operatives to fish out any of his cohorts who may be hiding in Bayelsa, noting that the command under his watch would not be a safe haven for criminals to hide.â€
Butswat claims that the suspect has been turned over to the Rivers Police Command for additional inquiry.
