Auto Police Nab Two Suspects Over Death Of Two In Oyigbo Draft

Two persons among those that carried out the dastardly attack that led to the death of two persons from the Hausa ethnic extraction have been arrested by the operatives of the Rivers State Police Command.
A statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni, in Port Harcourt, confirmed that the suspects were now “cooling their heels at the State CID, Port Harcourt, while the manhunt for others has been intensified”.
The statement reads, “Recall that on Saturday, September 5, 2020, there was a clash between scavengers of scrap materials from Igbo and Hausa in the Yam Market.
“In the wake of the attack, the CP summoned the parties and brokered a truce where he warned them to go back and keep the peace.
“Meanwhile, the bodies of the deceased Hausa men were immediately evacuated and buried in accordance with Islamic injunction.
“The area has been fortified and security beefed up, as our men were deployed in strategic places and will remain there to guide against reprisal attack or further breakdown of law and order.
