“He fell flat on the ground, but some of his boys quickly took him away. The police is still moving in to get his corpse.”

Recall that Superintendent Angbashim was ambushed and captured by the 2 Baba led gang in Odiemudie community, Ahoada East LGA of the State in September 2023.

He was taken into the forest where he was killed and his body decapitated and filmed.

When contacted spokesperson of the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, promised to give our reporter a feedback but had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report on Sunday morning.

Job well done.
