The acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has condemned the “gruesome murder” of the Divisional Police Officer for Ahoada Division in Rivers State, SP Bako Angbashim, ordering the probe and arrest of the culprits.

SP Bako was reportedly killed by gunmen in the Ahoada area on Friday, while on an operation with his team.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed on Saturday that the IGP has ordered immediate investigation, arrest, and prosecution of all the culprits involved in the “heinous and barbaric act”.

IGP Egbetokun, according to Adejobi, added that such an act is not only an affront on nation, but also a reflection of a lack of patriotism and gross illegality.
