The Rivers State Police Command has confirmed the death of Don Waney’s younger brother and a notorious member of his gang.
Oluchi Igwedibia alias Obatosu, was gunned down by
operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) on Saturday, at Sabo
Iyakpe, Etsako West in Edo State.
Addressing newsmen on behalf of DSS, the State Commissioner
of Police, Zaki Ahmed, confirmed the death of Obatosu, when the corpse
was displayed at the headquarters of 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Port
Harcourt.
Ahmed warned cultists to shun cultism and accept peace,
stating that any youth who involves himself in crime would be dealt with
by the law.
“This is, in deed, the fruit of collaborative effort by the
security agencies to get the State free of crime and cultism. No evil
doer will go free. Every youth should shun crime and embrace peace
“Oluchi Igwedibia was caught up by law in Auchi, Edo State,
where he ran to and was planning to come back and attack his local
government before he was killed… The law caught up with him,” Ahmed
said.
Obatosu, who was amongst the 32 cultists declared wanted by
the State Security Council, met his end following accurate DSS
intelligence that tracked him down to Edo State.
The late Obatosu was said to have played a prominent role in the New Year killings by Waney’s gang in Omoku and its environs.
His death came barely a week after he allegedly wrote a
threatening letter to Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA)
threatening to launch a reprisal attack in revenge over the death of his
murderous brother.
