The cult commander, Izuma David Odiereke, also known as "Solution" has been on the police wanted list for nearly a decade.
The Nigeria Police Force, Rivers State Command on Monday killed the commander of a dreaded cult group called "Greenlanders" during a shootout in Owube kingdom in the Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state.
The cult commander, Izuma David Odiereke, also known as "Solution" has been on the police wanted list for nearly a decade.
When operatives attacked his camp in a nearby woodland, he reportedly opened fire and attempted to flee, but was eventually apprehended by superior firepower around 4am on Monday.
The state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, briefed reporters at the Area Command and labelled the cult commander as a serial killer.
“His reign ended when the command took men to his camp at Api Forest between Odiereke Ubie and Joinkarama 4 in Ahoada West LGA,” Disu was quoted by PUNCH.
He continued: “Attempts were made to capture him three days ago, but he escaped. We continued to lay siege on him.
“We have been having a series of attacks from this so-called General Odiereke that has just been killed alias Solution.
“He has been on the wanted list since 2016. He has been a serial killer. A lot of people have died at his hands.
“Nobody can fish. Nobody can go to the farm because of this man. He is kind of a kid in the jungle. He comes to town in Ahoada West in Ibiza Clan, to be precise.
“The clan and the community had been deserted because anybody who comes around, he kills and escapes at will. He was doing everything he wanted.
“We are so happy that today, officers of the command led by the DOOR went after him, and luckily for us, they got him. So this is the end of the era of ‘General Solution’.
The Commissioner of Police added that the killed cult leader was responsible for the death of the paramount ruler in the area in February this year, among about nine notable names murdered by his gang.
