The heinous and barbaric act that led to the humiliation, gruesome murder, and mutilation of the late DPO took place in the Ahoada area of Rivers State on September 8, 2023, during a police operation.
Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, conveyed the IGP’s message, emphasizing that such actions not only challenge our national standing but also exhibit a lack of patriotism and flagrant illegality.

The IGP vowed that any such nefarious act against law enforcement officers in Nigeria would not be taken lightly, and the perpetrators would face the full force of the law. He extended his deepest condolences to SP Bako Angbashim’s grieving family, devoted colleagues, and friends, urging them to embody his dedication, humility, and selflessness.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Dr. Solomon Arase, strongly condemned the heinous and wicked murder of the late DPO. SP Angbashim and his men were ambushed while attempting to confront a deadly gang of cultists in the Odumude area of Ahoada East, Rivers State.
Dr. Arase praised the gallant officer’s unwavering commitment and bravery in the face of danger. He reassured that the PSC would use its constitutional powers to support the police in bringing the criminals to justice and preventing such ambushes from recurring.
The PSC chairman encouraged the police officers to use SP Angbashim’s death as a motivation to cleanse the security environment. He also commended the prompt action taken by the Rivers State governor, who announced a financial reward for those assisting in the arrest of the culprits.
Dr. Arase concluded by expressing his condolences to the slain officer’s family, praying that they find the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
The Nigerian police force is determined to bring those responsible for this atrocious crime to justice and to ensure the safety and security of its officers.
