 By: Awajis Josiah-Chijindu 



Operatives from the Rumuji Division of the Rivers State Police Command have neutralized a suspected notorious kidnapper and murderer, David Uzoma Kamalu, popularly known as M-Kaze.

The operation was conducted on a suspected criminal hideout in Rumuodogu 1 Community, Emohua Local Government Area of the state.

In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, the operation was carried out after days of intensive intelligence gathering.

During the operation, the Police operatives encountered fierce armed resistance from the gang members, leading to an exchange of gunfire. 

In the ensuing engagement, M-Kaze was neutralized, while several other gang members escaped with varying degrees of bullet wounds.

According to the statement,one pump-action shotgun,two live cartridges and various local charms believed to be used for protection and intimidation were recovered.

The deceased suspect, M-Kaze, was a high-value target with a notorious reputation for orchestrating heinous crimes against innocent citizens. 

 Due to his egregious crimes and notorious leadership of a kidnapping syndicate, a bounty was placed on M-Kaze's head by the then Chairman of Emohua LGA and this declaration underscores the significant threats he has posed to the safety and security of the community. 

The suspect was declared wanted by law enforcement agencies for his involvement in the gruesome murder and beheading of a local security operative popularly called "Hunter Commander", Mr. Alete, in January 2025, and multiple high-profile kidnappings and armed robberies along the East-West Road corridor, terrorizing residents and commuters.

SP Iringe-Koko added that Investigation is ongoing, while efforts are underway to apprehend the fleeing gang members.
