Disu, while paying tribute to the late Angbashim , also announced the recovery of his remains which initially buried in a hidden enclave owned by the late 2Baba and his notorious gang.

Disu said following the gory incident, the Command was initially unable to recover his remains but was now have pleased to be able to have done so.

He said: “Investigations into the murder of Angbashim led the Command to launch an assault on 2Baba and his cohorts. The operation resulted in the neutralization of suspects and the subsequent recovery of remains believed to be those of the late officer. To ensure closure for the bereaved family and the Police, a thorough examination was conducted to confirm the identity of the recovered remains.

“In collaboration with the immediate family of the late SP Bako Angbashim, DNA samples were collected and analyzed by the Forensic Department at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon, Lagos.

“After weeks of meticulous sample preparation and genetic matching, the results revealed a 99.99% probability that the DNA profile extracted from the recovered remains matched that of the deceased’s mother, Embegbu Angbashim, and brother, Timothy Angbashim. This conclusively confirmed that the individual whose remains were submitted for examination was indeed the late SP Bako Angbashim.

Recounting the gallantry of the fallen DPO, Disu said he tirelessly served the Command and dedicated himself to eradicating crime in the state.

On the fulfillment of the bounty placed on the head of the notorious Cult kingpin 2Baba, the CP said: “My deepest appreciation to the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, who kept his word and redeemed the ₦100 million pledge to those who provided credible information that led to the neutralization of the suspect, 2Baba, and the recovery of his corpse which was hidden by his gang members”.

Kobicove:


It was very necessary for the government of Rivers State to take this action otherwise every criminal would think he can murder a police officer at will and go scott free!

sslcrypt:


I completely agree. Any criminal that takes the life of a security officer or agent should face the full wrath of the law.
