The Rivers State Police Command has apprehended five suspected cultists for allegedly kidnapping and k!lling a 34-year-old entertainer, Rowland Horsfall, in Port Harcourt.

Rowland, popularly known as Speech Horsfall, a radio presenter, event host and OAP was abducted in September 2024.

Spokesperson of the command, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, said that the suspects, identified as members of the Iceland cult group, also extorted ransom from the victim’s mother, even after killing him.

The PPRO revealed that the cultists initially demanded a ransom of N2.5 million from Horsfall’s mother, who unknowingly transferred N300,000 to her son’s account, unaware he had already been k!lled.

Suspicious of their demands, she contacted the police, prompting swift action.

According to Iringe-Koko, the ordeal began on September 10, 2024, when Horsfall left his residence in Peace Valley Estate, Woji, to attend meetings in Port Harcourt.

Later that evening, he informed his mother via phone that he was heading home.

However, the following morning, Horsfall called his mother, stating he was being held hostage, and demanded N300,000 to retrieve his seized phone.

Shortly after, the abductors raised the demand to N2.5 million, threatening dire consequences if their demands were not met.

“They sent threatening pictures and voice notes to the victim’s girlfriend, warning that Horsfall would be k!lled if the ransom wasn’t paid promptly," the statement read.

Despite paying the N300,000, the victim remained in captivity.

The suspects eventually beat him to death and dumped his remains along Queens/Kings Bakery, Abuloma Road, Port Harcourt.

Acting on the mother’s complaint, police operatives launched an operation and arrested the prime suspect, Endurance Friday Thompson, in Woji Town on November 3, 2024.

During interrogation, Thompson confessed to the crime, detailing how he and his gang members held Horsfall captive, k!lled him after failing to secure the ransom, and disposed of his body.

Other arrested suspects include Boma Otonye a.k.a. Excess Chief (41), David Link Ishaku a.k.a. Biggy (34), Moses Nsikak Benjamin a.k.a. Aboy (29) and Emmanuel Aniete (32).

All the suspects reportedly confessed to the crime, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang.

Iringe-Koko advised youths to be cautious about their associations and movements to avoid falling victims to criminal elements.

“The command has intensified its manhunt for the remaining suspects to ensure they face the full wrath of the law,” she added.

When I started playing at Star Casino Gold Coast UK I didn't even expect it to be so addictive! Nice design, quality games and round-the-clock support - everything is thought out to the smallest detail. I managed to hit the jackpot on a slot, and my emotions are still running high! Recommended.

Why not phyuk your own mother's honeypot? Surely she has one? You lack manners. Infact, you are one of the worst things anyone can birth into this world. Not saying you shouldn't hate women including your mother, but let common sense rule you. You can curse, but that will remain with you. Deadbrain blind bat.
