The Bayelsa State Command has arrested six suspects allegedly involved in the killing of a Police Constable, Oboh Goodluck.
Newsmen reported that Goodluck was killed by suspected cultists along the OMPADEC area of Amarata Community in Yenagoa.
The State Police Commissioner, Francis Idu, who made this known during the Service of Songs parade and the Lying-in State, for the deceased said the police will ensure that the key suspects and those involved in the killing are brought to book.
According to CP Idu, the key suspect, who is identified to have been involved in multiple cases of murder and wanted by the Police, will soon be apprehended.
He warned that those involved in acts of violent attacks against the Police should be warned that the police authorities will use all arsenals in its disposal to ensure that they are brought to justice.
Idu assured the family of the deceased Police Constable that those who attacked a police man will face dire consequences and assured the men of the ranks and file that the top echelon of the Nigerian Police Force will have their backs irrespective of any circumstances.
“The deceased Constable acted within the law to confront and defend the people from harm against seven hoodlums. Goodluck Oboh gave his life to save the Bayelsa citizenry. If he had succeeded, he would have beaten his chest that he is a peacekeeper,” he said.
The Police Commissioner announced that a formal request will be sent to the State Governor, Sen Douye Siri to make the site of his killing a monument for him to be remembered.
The representative of the Ayadei/Oboh family, Comrade Kwokwo Robert, while appreciating the authorities of the Nigerian Police for the assistance in the final burial rites of the deceased Constable, called for Justice in the killing of their son.
“The relief we pray for as a family, is justice. Those responsible for the killing should also pay the supreme price.”
