Federal LawMaker Mourns Killing Of SP Bako, Calls For Justice

 


By

Awajis George 

The Federal Lawmaker representing Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency,  Hon. Dumnamene Robinson is pained and dumb-founded by the shocking news of the devastating and barbaric killing of the Ahoada Divisional Police Officer (DPO), SP Bako Angbashim who lost his life on line of duty over the weekend in the hands of a criminal gang in Ahoada-East Local Government Area of Rivers State.


Lamenting the loss of the gallant crime fighter who, before his recent deployment to Ahoada Division of the Nigeria Police early this year, was the Divisional Police Officer in Bori, Ogoni, Rt. Hon. Dekor said the death of SP Bako is not only a loss to the  Nigeria Police, but a calamity to Rivers State and humanity in general.



He described SP Bako as a rare species among his peers who saw crime fighting as a task and hobby to free mankind from the satanic tendencies of men of the underworld and undesirable elements in society and accordingly, distinguished himself in his belief and professional duty.

It takes generations to produce men and officers of his kind anywhere in the world, the federal lawmaker noted.

The federal legislator who is currently the House Committee Chairman of Host Communities in the House of Representatives said the Ogonis, Khana and Gokana Local Government Areas in particular have lost a beloved brother, and friend, noting that the relative peace and calm in Ogoniland today was sequel to SP Bako’s hard stance and fight against all manner of criminality in Ogoni land.


He regretted that the agents of darkness and their sponsors who are enemies of peace, order and general well-being of the people have at last succeeded in killing love, courage and the joy of the people.

Most regrettably, Rt. Hon. Dekor noted, was the manner and way these cursed and deranged elements butchered a man that had sacrificed his life on countless occasions to save even the lives of their relations from suffering the agonizing experience of a brutal, painful and slow death as he has.

Rt. Hon. Dekor sent his sympathies to the Nigeria Police Force, the immediate family of the fallen hero, the Rivers State government and the Ogoni people, urging all to take solace in the fact that SP Bako was a man of honour and gave up without compromising his respect and regard for the sanctity of life which portrays him as a candidate of Heaven exemplified by the outpouring and immeasurable sympathies, lamentations and kind words on his dignified personality by his admirers and well-wishers across the country.

The Ogoni-born politician, and former Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly commended the step already taken by Governor Siminalayi Fubara in placing a bounty on the fleeing leader of the criminal gang in Ahoada-East Local Government Area, and also passionately appealed to the Police and other security operatives to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that all the people involved in the dastardly act and conspiracy are arrested and brought to book so that it will serve an a deterrent to other conscienceless fools that may be plotting such evil in future.

RE: REPLY TO ELEM-KALABARI COUNCIL'S PRESS RELEASE

SPONSORED  FROM: THE PEOPLE OF DABIRA, COMMUNITY BILLE KINGDOM. DATE: JANUARY 23, 2025 We, the people of Dabira community, hereby submit this formal reply in response to the Ijaw National Congress (I.N.C) press release issued by the Elem-Kalabari Council of Chiefs on January 23, 2025. In response to the claims made by the Elem-Kalabari community, we provide the following perspectives based on territorial rights, historical ownership, and the law. 1. TERRITORIAL CLAIMS AND ENCROACHMENT  We categorically reject the assertion by the Elem-Ama Council that the Bille people’s claims of encroachment are "false alarms."

According to established legal principles governing the ownership and use of land, including the Nigerian Land Use Act (1978), the rights of indigenous communities to their ancestral lan...
