How Cultists Deceived Slain DPO – Rivers CP Reveals

Emeka Nwonyi, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, has revealed that the late Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada, Bako Angbashim, played into the hands of his killers.

Nwonyi revealed that the cultists had sold a dummy to the late Superintendent of Police that they were ready to turn in their arms if they would be granted amnesty in return.

He disclosed this during a solidarity protest by a human rights advocate, Charles Jaja, at the headquarters of the state Police Command in Port Harcourt on Monday.

Nwonyi expressed regret that the late Angbashim trusted the miscreants, only for him (Angbashim) to realise their deceit in death.

The CP, however, said that by the action of the cultists, “they have touched the lion’s tail.”

He stated, “What pains me most was the idea of him (Angbashim) believing like he kept saying that these people said they were ready to surrender their guns and come out for amnesty.

“And he played to the gallery, only to know in death that these people were rather crafty in their operation and lured him for an onslaught.”
