Odiereke, until his death, operated in Owube Kingdom in Ahoada-West Local Government area of Rivers State.

The cult leader was killed around 4:00 am Monday morning during a gun duel with law enforcement officers in a forest within the local government area.

The corpse of the deceased was paraded at the Area Command of the police in Ahoada Town.

The Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu told journalists that the deadly cult leader was declared wanted in 2016 following several killings linked to him.

“We have been under attack from him and his cult group for some time. The command declared him wanted in 2016 due to numerous killings attributed to him. He is a serial killer, and his criminal activities have rendered his clan deserted.

“The reign of terror perpetrated by Odiereke came to an end when the Command led a successful operation to his camp at Api Forest, situated between Odiereke Ubie and Joinkarama 4 in Ahoada West LGA.

“Despite his attempts to evade capture, the Command maintained relentless pursuit, eventually leading to his neutralization,” the CP said.

He listed over ten individuals killed by Odiereke’s Greenland Cult during his reign of terror to include a notable paramount ruler, Sampson, who fell victim to the gangster on February 2, 2024.

Disu commended the officers of the Ahoada Area Command and Division for their dedication, and urged them to remain steadfast in their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region.

The Police Commissioner also expressed gratitude to the local community for their cooperation in providing crucial intelligence and credible information to aid law enforcement efforts.

In a show of solidarity, members of the Ahoada West community appreciates the state Police Command’s efforts in restoring peace to the community.

The Chairman of Ahoada East LGA, Ben Eke Esq., in expressing his satisfaction, stated; “Even though he is from Ahoada West and was neutralized there, the ripple effects of reduced criminality will benefit my LGA.”

The paramount ruler, Seji Ebenezer of Owube community, Odiereke’s hometown noted that “the community is relieved. This young man has been a terror, engaging in serial killings, kidnappings, and notorious cult activities.”

The Rivers State Police Command restated its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents, saying this successful operation marked a significant step forward in achieving that goal.
