Dreaded Kidnapper and Cultist Killed In Rivers State
A dreaded Kidnapper and Cultist identified as Gbarane Bume from Luawii Community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State has been killed by operatives of the Rivers State Police Command.
Spokesperson for the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday said the Cultist who is a member of the infamous Iceland cult group, has been terrorising the Beere/Taabaa axis of Khana LGA along with his gang.
Iringe-Koko said that Cultist also known as Pelele and his gang attempted to kidnap a site engineer working in Luawii when the police, acting on a tip-off, swooped in. Upon sighting the police, the suspects opened fire, but Pelele was fatally wounded after a fierce exchange of gunfire and later died.
She added that “an investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being intensified to apprehend the other fleeing gang members and bring them to justice.”
