PRESS BRIEFING BY THE RIVERS STATE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, CP JOSEPH G. MUKAN psc (+) ON THE ATTACK ON POLICE STATIONS AND ARREST OF THE PERPETRATORS OF THE DASTARDLY ACTS. Good afternoon Gentlemen of the Press. It is with a heavy heart that I address you this afternoon on the recent attack on private and public property in the State leading to loss of lives. 2. Recall that on the 21/10/2020 at about 2130hrs hoodlums suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the guise of #ENDSARS PROTESTS, invaded Oyigbo Local Government Area where they launched senseless and mindless attacks on the Area Command, Oyigbo and Afam Police Stations and burnt down the three Stations. They also went to the adjoining Eberi-Omuma LGA where they attacked the Umuebulu Police Station. In all the attacks, several vehicles were burnt and three Policemen were hacked to death and burnt to ashes. 3. In another attack at the Mile one Police Station the same day, the rampaging IPOB Members still acting under the guise of #ENDSARS PROTESTS made frantic attempts at burning the Station but were however repelled by the superior fire power of the Police where four of them were fatally wounded and 8 of them arrested immediately. 4. In the course of investigation, on Saturday 24/10/2020 I led Commanders of the Sister Security Agencies to the scenes where we had an on-the spot assessment of the damage done to lives and property. Consequently, deployments were made to forestall further breakdown of Law and order. And as we speak there is relative peace in the Oyigbo Local Government Area, as we will continue to closely monitor the area amidst the Curfew imposed by the State Government. SUMMARY OF INCIDENT REPORT:- No of Suspects arrested - 21 No of Policemen killed - 3 No. of Stations burnt - 3 all under Oyigbo Area Command No. of Station vandalized -1 No. of Hoodlums killed - 4 The Names of the Suspected IPOB Members arrested in connection with the attacks are as follows:- Oguzie Nwajie ‘m’ Chibueze Raphael ‘m’ Andrew oyam ‘m’ Chisom ogbowu ‘m’ Mebebari yogbara ‘m’ ThankGod Samuel ‘m’ Nzube Ukachukwu ‘m’ Temple Uzuegbu ‘m’ Success Odinaka ‘m’ Ugochukwu Omeihe ‘m’ Evidence Igodo ‘m’ Chibuzor Ugo ‘m’ Dennis Richard ‘m’ Chidi Samuel ‘m’ Emmanuel Michael ‘m’ Shedrack Chinasa ‘m’ Hope Solomon ‘m’ Anthony Okwele ‘m’ Nweke Onuigbo ‘m’ Kenneth Ojinkeya ‘m’ Samuel Uban ‘m’ Names of Police Officers Killed are as follows:- AP/NO. 241542 Inspr.

Why are majority of suspects keeping a clean haircut? Or were their hairs shaved by the Police? May God help these ones if they're innocent |

Lol! But we were meant to understand that Ipob is unarmed and peaceful. The truth is finally coming out now. Ipob has always been a violent group. Ipob hijacked the EndSars movement in several states to cause mayhem. 1 Like |
