The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Friday Eboka has given a matching order to Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), Area Commanders to demolish all illegal detention camp facilities run by vigilante groups in their various domains across the local government areas of the state
The Police spokesman, Nnamdi Omoni in an interview with our correspondent said the CP gave this directive based on the management meeting he held with DPOs, Area Commanders, over the weekend in Port Harcourt.
He ordered the senior crime fighters of the state to unravel and destroy all camps operated by the vigilante groups and failure to do so would be an indictment on the DPO’s
He urged members of the public to report any illegal camp sighted anywhere in the state for prompt and adequate actions.
The CP said one of the major reasons it destroyed the illegal camp operated by OSPAC in Elele, was because of several human rights infractions. “The day police stormed his camp, on sighting the police, they (OSPAC) took to flights, as we speak, they have been declared wanted by the police,” we are appealing to the public to assist police with information that could lead to the arrest of Elele OSPAC Commander and his gang members”
The Rivers State Police image maker averred that some mobile phone numbers have been made available by the police authorities for discrete report, with a promise to shield the identity of those who come forward with such report that could lead to the arrest of the wanted OSPAC Commander identified as Fucking Naira.
“On that day when we got to the camp, we saw some persons who were unlawfully detained by the OSPAC at the illegal detention camp. he noted that the last time the police boss, Eboka Friday held meetings with leaders of OSPAC and vigilante groups in the state, he specifically told them that on no account should they operate illegal detention camps, but to work in harmony with the police.
“What they have done now is an affront to that directive”.
‘ As we speak now that Elele camp has been destroyed, and four persons detained for wondering or trespassing and other minor offences were freed having spent over one week in the illegal facility”
“Police is doing everything within its powers to uncover where the 17 Years Old boy, Chibuike Victor, a student of Jesus The Saviour International Secondary School, Elele, allegedly went missing while in OSPAC detention” .
A viral video on social media showed a young man expressing fear that the boy may have been killed, while his mother identified only as Anastasia, and called on the public to join in the search for her son.
The voice in the video said, “This young man is missing and may have been killed. His mother, Anastasia, needs our help to get his story out.” “He is 17-year-old Chibuike Nwokedi, an SS1 student of Jesus the Saviour International Secondary School, Elele in Rivers State. “It was said that he was expelled from school because he went home before the closing time around the Easter holiday period, and has been missing since then.
Omoni said the police was prosecuting two security guards of the school who handed the boy over to OSPAC and that one Alumeta Nnenna who linked the school security guards to the group, and one George Udom, were also facing prosecution.
he said the Arrest of the OSPAC commander at Elele Identified as Fucking Naira would help Police to solve the mysterious disappearance of the 17 year old.
