Two weeks after the murder of the Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada Division, Mr Bako Angbashim, a Superintendent of Police, Odiemudie where the incident happened has remained deserted.
Angbashim, a gallant police DPO, was killed and his head and private part cut off in Odiemudie in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State by cultists terrorizing Ahoada communities.
The area has been under the strong grip of dare-devil-minded cult leaders for over 13 years without any form of ‘saving grace.Prior to the murder, the 14 communities of Akoh Kingdom in Ahoada had suffered development setback based on the reign of successive cult leaders that have stifled residents following the reign of terror.
It was gathered that cultism and cult killings had started in the area around 2010 and that more than 100 people may have been murdered within the period.The cultists that operated in the area, knowing the power of the media, had reportedly warned residents not to relate any of their activities to the media or the police.
As a city under the full control of cultists, anyone who reported any crime committed by the cultists to the police or makes comments on it in the media is immediately declared wanted and subsequently killed or had his home destroyed.To many residents, the murder of Angbashim is the Deux ex Mechina, God of Machine, that has come when it became totally hopeless to his protagonists, the communities of Akoh Kingdom.
