Police Vows To Fish Out Killers Of SP Bako In Ahoada

 


Rivers State Police Command has vowed to fish out suspected criminals that  killed the Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada East local government Area , SP Bako Angbashim .

Police Public Relations Officer SP Grace 
Iringe-Koko in a statement said the unfortunate incident happened on the eve of September 8, 2023, where the DPO of Ahoada Division, SP Angbashim, displayed exemplary courage during a mission to combat criminal activities in the Odumude Area of Ahoada East Local Government Area in Rivers State.

According to the Command's spokesperson,SP Angbashim, alongside his dedicated team, embarked on a raid of known criminal black spots in the region. 

The operation led to a pursuit of criminals from their concealed hideouts. Tragically, as they were returning from the operation, they were ambushed by a significant number of criminals who opened fire on the brave officers.

SP Iringe-Koko stated that in the face of the adversity, SP Angbashim valiantly held his ground, while his men, depleted of ammunition, made a tactical retreat.




 Regrettably, during the engagement, SP Angbashim sustained fatal injuries, and one of his informants was also injured, currently receiving medical care for a gunshot wound.

The criminals seized the body of SP  Angbashim, forcing the remaining officers to return to their base for reinforcement. 

According to SP Iringe-Koko efforts were made to rescue and recover the DPO's body, with assistance sought from the Army teams stationed at FOB Base Etraco. However, the operation proved challenging due to the extremely dark conditions within the dense bush.

Meanwhile,Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Nwonyi  Emeka has expressed deep determination to bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to justice. An extensive investigation is currently underway to uncover the circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
