A jubilating crowd celebrated the killing of notorious cult commander Izuma David Odiereke popularly known as Solution by operatives of the Rivers State Command in Ahoada West Local Government Area of the State.
It was gathered that Solution has been on the wanted list of the Police, and met his end in a gun battle with law enforcement officers in a forest within the Local Government Area at approximately 4 am on Monday.
Addressing the press at the Ahoada Area Command, where Odiereke’s body was brought, Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, stated, “We have been under attack from him and his cult group for some time. The command declared him wanted in 2016 due to numerous killings attributed to him. He is a serial killer, and his criminal activities have rendered his clan deserted.”
“The reign of terror perpetrated by Odiereke,” Commissioner Disu continued, “came to an end when the command led a successful operation to his camp at Api forest, situated between Odiereke Ubie and Joinkarama 4 in Ahoada West LGA. Despite his attempts to evade capture, the command maintained relentless pursuit, eventually leading to his neutralization.”
CP Disu also listed over ten individuals killed by Odiereke’s Greenland Cult during his reign of terror, including the notable paramount ruler, Sampson, who fell victim to the gangster on February 2, 2024.
He commended the officers of the Ahoada Area Command and Division for their dedication and urged them to remain steadfast in their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region.
