Police operatives from the Rivers State Command have arrested the Commander of a vigilante group, ONELGA Security Planning and Advisory Committee (OSPAC) in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA of the state, Felix Nwaobakata.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Nwaobakata was arrested in his hideout in Omoku on June 17th, 2023, where two human skulls and human bones were found in his possession.
The PRO, Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe Koko (ANIPR), said that Nwaobakata was arrested following numerous complaints about the operations of OSPAC in different parts of the State, as well as clashes with other Security Agencies by the Vigilante Group.
“On May 9th, 2024, Alhaji Usman Seleh, the Chairman of the Hausa Indigenous Group in ONELGA, reported that OSPAC had abducted a member of his group. He proceeded to report the matter to the Police. Consequently, the Police invited the ONELGA OSPAC Commander, Felix Nwaobakata, who refused to honour several invitations. Instead, the OSPAC outfit coordinated an attack on the Police Division in Omoku but the attack was thwarted as the Police repelled them.
“Following this development, Tactical Units of the Command stormed the ONELGA OSPAC Camp at Omoku and arrested Cheta Benjamin, Joshua Ekwosa, Innocent Ahiakwu, and four others.
“The ONELGA OSPAC Commander, Felix Nwaobakata, was subsequently arrested in his hideout in Omoku on June 17th, 2023, where two human skulls and human bones were found in his possession.
“The arrested OSPAC Commander, Felix Nwaobakata, is also a principal suspect in the murder of two brothers, Collins Ugorji (32) and Newman Ugorji (39), of the Idu Community in ONELGA. The brothers were killed on May 1st, 2024, by the OSPAC on the allegation that they were kidnappers. Their motorcycles were confiscated, and their bodies were taken to the OSPAC Secretariat in Omoku and received by Felix Nwaobakata after residents lamented their criminal actions. The bodies of the brothers were not seen, and the investigation is ongoing.”
