In a startling revelation, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police has disclosed how a group of cunning cultists deceived and ultimately led to the tragic demise of a dedicated and decorated Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the state.
Late on Saturday evening, reports surfaced about the brutal murder of Superintendent Gabriel Waziri, the esteemed DPO of Eleme Police Division. His death sent shockwaves through the community, leaving both colleagues and residents in mourning.
Commissioner Samuel Okaula, while addressing the media, provided a detailed account of the events leading up to the heinous crime. According to Okaula, the cultists employed elaborate tactics to lull the officers into a false sense of security before launching their deadly assault.
"The cultists orchestrated a well-organized scheme to divert attention and lower the guard of our officers," stated Commissioner Okaula. "Their meticulous planning and calculated execution were undoubtedly instrumental in carrying out this tragic act."
Okaula explained that the cultists had initially reported a fabricated incident at a different location, thereby diverting the attention of the police force away from their actual target. This diversionary tactic effectively drew officers away from Eleme, leaving the DPO and his team vulnerable.
"By the time our officers realized the deception and returned to the Eleme Division, it was already too late," lamented Okaula. "Superintendent Waziri and his team were ambushed in an orchestrated attack that ultimately claimed his life."
Superintendent Gabriel Waziri was a well-respected figure in the Rivers State Police Force, known for his unwavering dedication to maintaining law and order in the Eleme community. He had earned numerous commendations for his outstanding service and had been instrumental in curbing criminal activities in the area.
As news of the DPO's tragic demise spread, tributes poured in from both within and outside the law enforcement community. Colleagues, community leaders, and residents alike expressed their grief and admiration for Superintendent Waziri's contributions.
The Rivers State Government, through Governor Nyesom Wike, condemned the brutal attack and pledged to support the police in their efforts to bring the culprits to justice. Governor Wike urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperative with law enforcement agencies, emphasizing the need for collective efforts in combating crime.
Commissioner Okaula assured the public that every resource would be deployed to ensure the perpetrators of this heinous act are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice. He urged anyone with information related to the incident to come forward, emphasizing the crucial role that community cooperation plays in such investigations.
The tragic loss of Superintendent Gabriel Waziri serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers in their tireless efforts to protect communities. As investigations into this shocking incident continue, the Rivers State Police Force and its partners remain steadfast in their commitment to upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the lives of citizens.
