The police command in Rivers says its operatives have
neutralised David Uzoma Kamalu, a suspected kidnapper, at a hideout in
Rumuodogu community of the state.
The police said Kamalu, popularly known as M-Kaze, was
“notorious for orchestrating heinous crimes against innocent citizens”.
A statement by Grace Iringe-Koko, Rivers police
spokesperson, said Kamalu was killed during an operation that took place last
Sunday.
Iringe-Koko said Kamalu’s gang members engaged in a gun duel
with the police officers during the operation.
“In the ensuing engagement, M-Kaze was neutralized, while
several other gang members escaped with varying degrees of bullet wounds,” the
statement reads.
“A thorough search of the hideout yielded a cache of
incriminating exhibits, including: one pump-action shotgun; two live
cartridges; and various local charms believed to be used for protection and
intimidation.
“The deceased suspect, M-Kaze, was a high-value target with
a notorious reputation for orchestrating heinous crimes against innocent
citizens.
“Due to his egregious crimes and notorious leadership of a
kidnapping syndicate, a bounty was placed on M-Kaze’s head by the then chairman
of Emohua LGA and this declaration underscores the significant threats he has
posed to the safety and security of the community.
“He was declared wanted by law enforcement agencies for his
involvement in the gruesome murder and beheading of a local security operative
popularly called “Hunter Commander”, Mr. Alete, in January 2025, and multiple
high-profile kidnappings and armed robberies along the East-West Road corridor,
terrorizing residents and commuters.”
