The Rivers State Police Command has requested the key suspect in the horrific murder of the Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada East Local Government Area of the State, SP Bako Angbashin, to turn himself in for an inquiry.
Gift Okpara, popularly known as 2Baba, the head of the Icelandic cult gang who is wanted by the police, was told to come out and prove he was not responsible for the murder of Angbashin in the Odumuedie community of Ahoada East by suspected cultists.
This was said in a statement released in Port Harcourt on Wednesday and provided to journalists by Grace Iringe-Koko, the state police command’s spokesman.
According to The PUNCH, the well-known cultist denied any involvement in the incident in a voicemail that was played on the well-known radio station 92.3 Nigeria Info, Port Harcourt, on Monday morning.
Iringe-Koko stated that the concept of justice requires a fair trial for all parties, but she was also reacting to a recently circulated, viral voice note by 2Baba in which he denied any role in the killing.
The statement reads, “The Rivers State Police Command has taken note of a recent radio announcement in which Gift David Okpara, also known as 2Baba, a notorious cultist and murder suspect wanted in connection with the killing of Superintendent of Police, SP Bako Angbashim, former DPO of Ahoada Police Division in Rivers State, denied his involvement in the tragic incident.
“While the police acknowledge the denial made by Gift David, it is important to emphasize that the principle of justice demands a fair hearing for all parties involved.
”The police understand the importance of listening to the other party, and it is crucial to note that everyone is considered innocent until proven otherwise.
“As such, the Rivers State Police Command urges Gift David Okpara, aka 2Baba, to come forward and submit himself to the authorities, providing the opportunity to present evidence that could support his claims of innocence.
“The police are committed to upholding the principles of due process and are open to receiving any information that can aid in the ongoing investigation.
“It is imperative for Gift David Okpara to cooperate with law enforcement to ensure a thorough and transparent resolution to this serious matter.”
