Famous 2baba Shot dead at Rivers State, 17th February

Following a police raid on his hideout, David Gift Opara, also known as 2Baba, the most wanted Cult leader for whom Governor Siminalayi Fubara issued a bounty of N100 million, is believed to be dead.

The main suspect in the death of Ahoada Division Divisional Police Officer SP Bako Angbashim five months ago is 2Baba.

According to fuzzy reports, on Saturday afternoon, Idu-Ekpeye, in the Ahoada East Local Government area, was stormed by Tactical Teams of the Rivers State Police employees.

Following the news that the most sought cult leader may have been slain during a raid at his camp on Saturday, our correspondent learned that reporters had been pressing the command for formal confirmation, but none had been provided.

The famous kingpin who is most wanted has reportedly died, according to several internet sources.

On Saturday, February 17, between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m., there was a large-scale raid at the 2Baba hideaway, according to sources close to the Police Command.

The Rivers State Police Command informed reporters a few days ago that 2Baba was getting closer.

As he turned over four 20 KVA generators that 2Baba had stolen, Tunji Disu, the Commissioner of Police, who was represented by Olubenga Adepoju, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Operations, declared that the infamous lead suspect would soon be brought to justice.

He promised that the search for the notorious Iceland Cult General, which the Command launched five months ago, would shortly bear fruit.

Police had retrieved from 2Baba the four 20KVA Generators that had paid him the N20 million \”marching ground\” fee—an unlawful tax levied against individuals or groups by cultists.

\”I am here today on behalf of Commissioner of Police, CP Olatunji Disu, to hand over four Perkins generators that were recovered by our tactical teams from the notorious and most wanted criminal in Rivers command, David Gift, also known as 2 Baba, and his gang. A few months ago, SP Bako Angbashim, DPO of Ahoada Police Division, was killed by 2 Baba and his gang.\” Adepoju stated.

These generators were being brought to the Odiemude hamlet in Ahoada East Local Government Area, which the company planned to exploit, when he took them a few months ago. He seized it before it could be given back to the company and wanted N20 million for the generators, or N5 million for each one.

“While we were on search for him, we were able to stumble on the generators where he kept them. Our men tactically cordoned off the place and recovered the generators. We are still on his trail and by the grace of God we will get him.”
