PRESS BRIEFING BY CP. MUSA KIMO, THE RIVERS STATE COMMISSIONER POLICE AT THE POLICE STATE HEADQUARTERS, MOSCOW ROAD, PORT HARCOURT ON 08th FEBRUARY, 2016
Gentlemen of the Press.
2. You would recall that on Saturday 05/03/2015 at Omoku, one Frank Obi together with his wife and son were brutally murdered in their sleep. Similarly, on Monday 07/03/2016 at Buguma, one Ofinjite Amachree was also killed and his dead body set ablaze.
3. I’m deeply saddened by
these tragic and senseless killings while my heart and sincere
condolence goes to the bereaved families. We must realize that violence
is never and will never be a solution to any problem(s).
4. While
investigation is ongoing on the cases, let me at this juncture inform
you that the Command will stop at nothing to bring to book the
perpetrators of not only these recent killings but all similar
incidents. Presently, we have in our custody one Anthony Ugoh, who was
arrested in connection with the murder of Frank Obi and two other
members of his family. We have also arrested one Ndubisi Tochi on the
allegations of the killing of Ofinjite Amachree. Both suspects are now
undergoing interrogations and are given us useful information that will
ultimately lead to the arrest of their accomplices. We will at the
appropriate time after we are done with our investigation parade the
suspects before you.
5. Let me for the umpteenth time appeal for the
continued and sustained support and cooperation of the members of the
public by way of credible and timely information to enable us discharge
our constitutional mandate of protection of life and property. Be
assured that any information volunteered will forever remain
confidential.
6. It is also pertinent to inform you that I have
placed all officers and men of the Command on red alert purposely to
allay the fears of the members of the public and of course to promptly
nip in the bud any security breach. Peace loving members of the public
are hereby enjoined to go about their lawful business without any fear
of molestation, please.
