The leadership of the Orashi National Congress, ONC, has commended the Rivers State Police Command for the significant advancements in the investigation into the tragic murder of SP Bako Angbashim, a former Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ahoada Division in Rivers State.
The Command’s unwavering commitment to resolving this heinous crime and ensuring justice has yielded fruitful results.
It was reported that on Sunday, March 10, 2024, a coordinated joint operation was carried out by tactical squads from the Rivers State Police Command and personnel from the Force Intelligence Bureau. This operation targeted the camp of the deceased cult leader, Gift Okpara, famously known as 2Baba, situated within the forest region of Odiemude Community in Ahoada East Local Government Area, and the Orashi National Congress, ONC, is pleased with the State Command.
During the operation, diligent search efforts led to the discovery of a burial site within the gang’s shrine, where the remains of the slain Police Officer, SP Bako Angbashim, were located and subsequently exhumed. Notably, the exhumed remains include the skull of the deceased. These recovered remains have been taken to the mortuary, where they will undergo scientific examination and genetic testing. These tests aim to establish the identity of the remains through a meticulous comparison with samples obtained from the late officer’s relatives.
The ONC said, “We owe no one any apologies for saying that the Rivers State CP is the very best in history”.
It is important to note that 2Baba, the leader of the gang responsible for this heinous crime, met his demise on February 17, 2024, during a planned assault executed by the Rivers State Police Command. 2Baba died in Ebrass, Ahoada West Local Government Area, but unfortunately, his gang members managed to escape with his body. However, following an intensive seven-day search, aided by credible intelligence, Tubaba’s body was ultimately recovered from a shallow grave in the Ebrass forest.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Olatunji Disu, has yet again been commended by the leadership of the Orashi National Congress, ONC, for the unwavering dedication and resolute commitment demonstrated across the state.
“We commend the Rivers State Police Command for remaining steadfast in its mission to upholding peace, security, and justice within the state” the ONC said.
