Remains of monarch kidnappers murdered, buried uncovered in forest 2 years after
The traditional ruler of Luwa Community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State kidnapped, killed, and buried in 2019 by his abductors has turned up.
Operatives of Rivers police command recovered the remains of R.N Loolo.
He was killed and buried even after a ransom was paid by his family.
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Bori Division in Khana LGA, SP Bako Angbashim, on Monday led the team of police operatives to a thick forest in Luwa community where the body was exhumed.
Angbashim said the discovery followed a “thorough investigation and random search” in various forests within the area.
Angbashim, who cautioned the kidnappers and those behind criminal activities to vacate Ogoniland, further assured that his men will stop at nothing in ensuring that the “perpetrators are arrested and brought to justice”.
The first son of the late king, Kingdom Loolo, said his family “is in great pains” over the incident but expressed gratitude to God that the corpse of his father was recovered.
