Confirming the incident to the newsmen, the e State Commissioner of Police, CP Alonyenu Francis Idu, disclosed that the incident occurred on Thursday, June 13, 2024.
Alonyenu said that an investigation is ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding the crime and that the family of the deceased will get justice very soon.
“The manner the rider was killed is alien to Bayelsa State. We have the suspicion that the deceased was stalked from Plateau to Bayelsa and killed or his death is related to a group of criminal elements currently assembled at Ogbia Local Government Area.
“So the circumstances surrounding the death of the deceased are two-dimensional. Our drone was able to capture the signatures of the vehicle that was used to carry out the operation. The last time the vehicle was sighted was that it was heading towards Ogbia.
“As I am speaking to you, the location of the vehicle is yet to be known but we are sure we will get it soon because we have every detail of the car. So we sympathize with the family of the deceased but we are sure they will get justice and that will happen very soon.
