Cultists have reportedly murder a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police and lawyer identified as Barr. Christian Kpatuma in Imo State.
The late ACP, popularly known as ‘HIPPIES’, was allegedly murdered by cultists said to have taken over Agwa clan, in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.
It was gathered that the cultists, who are well known in Agwa, went to his house in the early hours of Wednesday and killed him.
A prominent citizen of the community, who sought anonymity, appealed to Governor Hope Uzodimma to bring those who murdered the late assistant commissioner of police to book.
“I call on the Governor of Imo State to direct the security agencies to Agwa with a view to hunting these cultists and their sponsors and financiers until they are all brought to book.
“Agwa people now live in great fear, in spite of the fact that her well-meaning sons and daughters suffered to build a Police Divisional Headquarters (adjudged to be the best in Imo State), which was commissioned barely three days ago together with a Vigilante Service. I am greatly pained,” he said.
When contacted, Imo Police spokesman, CSP Michael Abattam, said that he has heard about the incident but was yet to get details from the Divisional Police Officer in the area.
