Angbashim, a Superintendent of Police, was gruesome murdered on September 8, 2023 by a cult group, led by one Gift Okpara, popularly known as ‘2 Baba’ at Oduemude community in Ahoada-East local government area of the State.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, gave the names of the two suspects as Lovegod Goodluck, a male and Precious Olumini, who had earlier escaped arrest.

Iringe-Koko stated that Goodluck and Olumini were arrested at different locations when policemen from the Octopus Tactical Unit of the Command went in search of the leader of the cult group, known as ‘K1’ at his camp in Ikata community in Ahoada-East LGA.

The statement said during interrogation, the suspects confessed to being members of the dreaded Iceland cult group that has been terrorising Ahoada-East axis of the state.
