A notorious cult gang, led by wanted kingpin 2 Baba, have killed a Divisional Police Officer, Bako Angbanshim, in a gun duel in Ahoada-East local government area of Rivers State.
It was gathered that members of the cult gang laid ambush for the DPO and his team as they were returning from Odumude area of the local government, where they raided some criminal hideouts.
The gunmen, on sighting the policemen, had reportedly opened fire on them. However, the policemen reportedly fled from the scene when they ran out of ammunition, leaving the DPO behind, thus enabling the cultists to catch him alive, take him away and kill him.
In a gory video believed to have been released by the cultists, the dismembered remains of Bako could be seen, while a voice is heard mocking him.
Confirming the incident, the Rivers State Police Command spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko, said the Police are on the trail of the suspects to ensure they get arrested and prosecuted.
