IGP condemns gruesome murder of DPO, orders arrest of culprits

The Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has condemned the gruesome murder of SP Bako Angbashim, who was, at the time of his passing the divisional police officer, Ahoada Division in Rivers State.

The slain DPO was humiliated, gruesomely murdered, and mutilated by some armed criminals in Ahoada area of Rivers State on Friday, September 8 while on operation in the area.

The IGP therefore ordered immediate investigation, arrest and prosecution of all the culprits that carried out the heinous and barbaric act; adding that such an act is not only an affront on our national status but also a reflection of lack of patriotism and gross illegality.

The IGP, while emphasizing unequivocally that such nefarious acts against any operative in Nigeria, will not be taken with levity as all the perpetrators will be caused to face the full wrath of the law, extends his deepest condolences to the grieving family, dedicated colleagues and friends of the officer urging them to embody his dedication, humility and selflessness.
