The FPRO further noted that “upon further interrogation of
the suspects, it was discovered that they were active members of the
group that gruesomely murdered DSP Alkali Mohammed in cold blood on the

of the group recruited by politicians from Rivers and neighboring
states to scuttle the December 10, 2016 re-run parliamentary election.”

crime and are cooperating with the Police to recover the severed part of

innocent citizens.
