The Rivers State Police Command has confirmed the
death of Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Cliff
Igwegbe, who was the DPO of Rumuokoro Police
division.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmad Muhammad said
CSP Igwebe made a supreme sacrifice by putting his life
on the line for others.
The command spokesman said the late DPO and other
officers responded to a distress call but were
ambushed by the hoodlums in a gun battle.
The DPO had led an operation against suspected
hoodlums, who were reported to have stolen a vehicle
belonging to a member of the Rivers State House of
Assembly, Sam Oge.
A senior police officer, who confirmed the incident to
DAILY POST, said the shootout with the criminals
happened around Rumuigbo in Port Harcourt last
Sunday.
Our source said four other policemen were hit by
bullets and were recovering at an undisclosed hospital.
In the meantime, the Rivers State Police Command has
confirmed the rescue of two kidnap victims around
Umubele waterfront in Port Harcourt.
The Command spokesman, Ahmad Muhammad said
the rescue operation was conducted by men of the
tactical unit.
He identified the victims as Chris Lebare and George
Anuobi.
Muhammad said the men were kidnapped at different
times on 22nd of November along Rumuokoro-
Rumuigbo road in Port Harcourt.
In a statement obtained by our correspondent, the
Police Public Relations Officer also disclosed that three
unidentified suspected kidnappers found guarding the
rescued victims were killed during the operation.
He said items recovered from the scene include two
locally made pistols, one axe and charms.
