Less than 72 hours after discovering a corpse tied to a tree in Alesa in Eleme Local Government Area, The Rivers State Police Command has exhumed three corpses from a forest in Bera, Gokana Local Government Area. The victims, Baridomale Sunday Tor, Baridon Gbarabera and Barisiton Nawee, were reportedly buried alive with mouths and hands tied to their back by their abductors on March 14.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Nnamdi Omoni, said the anti-cultism unit of the State Command, through intelligence gathering, arrested the suspects who led the unit to the forest where the victims were buried. Africa Update gathered that the suspected killers Prophet and Barididum Dabama a.k.a ‘Kill and Bury’, admitted to committing the crime at the scene of exhumation of the decomposing bodies. They claimed that the victims were killed for reporting oil theft and perpetrators in the community.
Omoni said the Command under Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, is determined more than ever to end all criminal activities in the state.
You will recall that about two days ago, the decomposing body of Dinebari Ereba Gospel, a potable water producing engineer, was recovered in a forest in Alesa, Eleme LGA where kidnappers tied him to a tree to die, even after collecting N1,000,000 ransom from relatives.
