Alleged killer of Rivers DPO speaks from hiding

David Gift Okpala Okpolowu, popularly known as 2Baba, the wanted alleged cultist and murderer of Ahoada Division DPO, Bako Angbashim, has spoken from hiding and denied involvement in the DPO’s murder.

2Baba, in a voice note sent to the media in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said the news of the DPO’s murder came as a surprise to him, adding that he had nothing to do with it.

Recall that cultists terrorizing Rivers State’s Ahoada East Local Government Area killed Angbashim during an operation in the state and seized his severed corpse.

Following the occurrence, the state’s governor, Siminalayi Fubara, slammed a N100 million bounty on the culprit.

However, 2Baba stated in the voice note that he spoke to Angbashim a few hours before he was slain and that the news of the murder shocked him.

He said: “I want to tell the whole world that my hand is not in the murder of the DPO. All this while, I never wanted to talk about this, but people were very concerned, so I said let me tell my people the truth.

“I am not involved in the murder. It is just that the thing happened in my community road. The day it happened, I was not there. I was shocked when I heard what happened.”
