The most dreaded and notorious
militant leader in Omoku, Rivers State, known as Ejima Igwe Dibia also known as
“Don wanni” has been killed.
Wanny’s death was confirmed by
the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area,
ONELGA, of the state, Osi Olisa.
He was shot dead by a combined
force of OSPAC (Onelga Security outfit) and other security agents in the state.
Prior to his death, Wanny was
among gang leaders who recently accepted the amnesty granted by the State
Governor, Nyesom Wike.
But he has been repeatedly
accused of returning to crime and been responsible for several criminal acts
and killings in the Omoku neighbourhood.
Hon.(Barr.) Osi Olisa had few
weeks ago, in a statement condemned the dastardly killing of two OSPAC
personnel and a civilian in Okposi and Omoku respectively, describing it as
“vicious and despicable.”
In the statement, he accused Don
Wanni and “forces” loyal to him of being behind the violent attack, and urged
OSPAC and other security outfits to get to the bottom of the matter.
These attacks on the security
outfit, led to a manhunt for him.
A gun battle between the security
and his lead gang at about 8:45 pm on Sunday, resulting to his eventual death
alongside three members of his gang.
Residents of Omoku have welcomed
the news of his death with excitement as they trooped into the council
secretariat where his dead body was kept.
He has been alleged to be
responsible for the killing of several Rivers indigenes, amongst them were, one
Chief Adube and his three children; the beheading of Franklyn Obi and the
killing of his wife and son; the murder of several APC Members and the arson on
the home of Hon Vincent Ogbuagu; as well as several others in and around Omoku
in Ogba /Egbema/ Ndoni LGA of Rivers State.
