Suspected members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB have been allegedly linked to the killing of an F-SARS officer in Rivers State.
This happened at Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday night, the eve of their stay-at-home October 1st order.
The Rivers State Police has arrested 22 suspected members of IPOB.
According to a report, passersby who saw the dead body of the police officer alerted the Oyigbo Divisional Police and in a combined effort of the officers attached to tactical units of Operation Sting and Anti-Cultist, the action of the rampaging hoodlums was curtailed as they later retreated to a neighbouring state after an exchange of fire.
In a statement, SP Nnamdi Omoni, Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer said, “Our SARS Office in Oyigbo was attacked.
“We lost one of our personnel and our patrol vehicle burnt. We have arrested 22 suspects in connection with the incident. Investigation is ongoing. We have also stabilized the area and security beefed up.”
