How Notorious Cultist Surrended To Police After Operatives Raided His Hideout

A notorious cultist, General 2man has surrendered his arms and ammunition to the police in Rivers State after operatives repeatedly raided his hideouts.

Rivers State Police Commissioner, Emeka Nownyi disclosed this during a press briefing in the state.

According to Nownyi, the notorious cultist hails from the Ogbogolo community in Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state.

General 2man, the police boss said revealed, was the leader of the Green Landers cult group in the area.

He added that the police were on the trail of other fleeing gang members.

He stated, “Operatives of the command on Friday at about 0730hrs, following incessant raid on cultist camps, one General 2man ‘m’ of Ogbologbolo community Ahoada West, leader of the GreenLanders Cult Group, surrendered to the police operatives one AK-47 rifle with six live rounds of 7.62 x 39 mm calibre and two SMG rifles.

“Effort has been in place to launch more raids on the hoodlums for the possible recovery of more arms and ammunition in their possession.”

The rivers police chief also added that a 39-year-old Isaac Okoma of Alebiri in Ekeremo LGA of Bayelsa State was apprehended by men of the command following a discreet investigation.

He said the suspect was nabbed in connection with the murder of Josephine Ibiju of Baptist Waterfront.

“Preliminary investigation has commenced and the case will soon be transferred to the SCID, Port Harcourt,” he stated.

Nownyi also said operatives, following credible information, busted a drug peddling syndicate Rumuokwuta in Obio/Akpor LGA, noting that upon sighting the police, they took to their heels, abandoning their drugs and weapons.

The CP stated, “The notorious criminals took to their heels and escaped through the canal, abandoning the following items: 14 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, one LAR rifle magazine, 50 wraps of weed suspected to be Indian hemp, 42 sachets of hard drugs suspected to be loud, six sachets of Chelsea drink, 20 sachets of Eagle drink, 10 sachets of Tombo bitters, four packets of Chesterfield cigarettes and five assorted GSM handsets were recovered.

“Investigation is in progress and efforts have intensified to arrest fleeing suspects.”

In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that France has rejected the Niger junta’s move to cut bilateral military pacts, noting that it was only the “legitimate” leadership of the country that can do so.

France stated this on Friday after the junta in Niamey said it was cancelling military cooperation agreements with Paris.
