The Rivers State Police Command says it recovered human parts from one Felix Nwaobakata, the Leader, ONELGA Security Planning and Advisory Committee (OSPAC), who is currently in its detention.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, told journalists in Port Harcourt, today, that the vigilance group leader was arrested on June 17 over suspected involvement in illegal activities.
The police spokesperson said that the force had activated moves to clamp down on the excesses of local security groups in the state.
She said that on May 9, the command received a report from the Chairman, Hausa Indigenous Group in ONELGA, Alhaji Usman Seleh, concerning the abduction of a member of his group by OSPAC personnel.
“Consequently, the police invited Nwaobakata for questioning, but he refused to honour several invitations sent to him.
“Instead of honouring the invitations, the OSPAC commander coordinated a deadly attack on a police station at Omoku, which was repelled by police personnel on duty.
“Based on this, the tactical units of the command stormed the ONELGA OSPAC camp at Omoku and arrested seven members of the group.
“Nwaobakata was subsequently captured on June 17 at his hideout in Omoku, where we discovered two human skulls and bones in his possession,” she said.
Iringe-Koko further said that the OSPAC commander was a prime suspect in the murder of two brothers, Collins Ugorji, 32, and Newman Ugorji, 39, from the Idu community in ONELGA.
She said that the two brothers were brutally killed on May 1 on the suspicion and allegation of being involved in kidnapping. (NAN)
