Twenty two members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (lPOB) in Oyigbo, have been arrested by officers attached to the Rivers State Police Command for allegedly killing a police officer, and burning a police vehicle in Kom-Kom, a popular community in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state.
Sources said that the state police command had dispatched no fewer than 25 patrol vans, each carrying no less than 10 officers, in an operation designed to fish out those responsible for the attack on the police station, and killing of the officer. Africa Update gathered that residents in the area and commuters plying the roads were randomly searched.
You will recall that the incident that occurred about 9:30am, last Wednesday led to chaos, when a policeman attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), was killed, an operational vehicle belonging to the police, and several other vehicles parked in the police station were also vandalised by the hoodlums.
