The Rivers State Police Command said on Monday that it had begun a manhunt for the killers of a Deputy Superintendent of Police, Alkali Mohammed of Mobile Police, Unit 48, and his orderly.
The state Police PRO Mr. Nnamdi Omoni, said special units of the Nigeria Police Force had joined the ongoing investigation with a view to getting the hoodlums and bringing them to justice.
A group of bandits suspected to be cultists had ambushed a police patrol team in Ujju community near Omoku in Ogba Egbema/Ndoni LGA, killed and beheaded a DSP and his orderly.
According to Punch, it was learnt that the hoodlums escaped with the police patrol vehicle and took some weapons along with them.
The state police command promised that those behind the dastardly act would never go unpunished, even as a policeman, who could be the driver of the patrol van, was still missing after the incident.
“The death of the DSP has been confirmed and his body recovered. The policeman (orderly) is still missing. All hands are on the deck and we are combing the bush around some communities."
"The Command’s Tactical Unit has swung into action; the IGP Unit is also helping the manhunt for the hoodlums. Investigation had been ordered and we will get the perpetrators of this act in no time.
“It is a sad moment for the police and we pray that their gentle souls will rest in peace.”
