Police Arrest And Disarm Officer Who Shot And Killed Keke Rider At Rukpoku

The Rivers State Police Command has announced the arrest, disarming and detention of the officer who shot and killed School Boy, a keke rider at Rukpoku axis of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, earlier today.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Nnamdi Omoni, a Superintendent of Police, sued for calm, promising that justice would be served.

Omoni said: “I am aware of the incident at Rukpoku. One of our men killed a Keke ridder this morning. The policeman has been disarmed and he is detained now.

“We have mobilised our men in the area to restore calm and contain a further breakdown of law and order.

“We are pleading for calm to allow us to bring him to justice. Two wrongs can never make a wrong. The Keke driver has died and the man who killed him must receive his punishment.

“Killing a policeman or burning down a station cannot bring him back to life or give him justice, instead it will deteriorate the situation.”
