Police nab three over murder of two cops in Rivers

In Rivers State, Nigeria, three individuals were arrested by the local police for the murder of two officers during a stop-and-search operation in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area on June 29, 2026. During the attack, the suspects used a commando-style tactic, opening fire on the officers and stealing their AK-47 rifles. One officer suffered a severe leg injury that led to amputation and later died in the hospital. The arrests were made following orders from the State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, who mandated a swift investigation and recovery of the stolen weapons. The suspects, identified as Maduabuchi Emeka, Chinedu Owhor, and Kamachi Joe, were apprehended after intelligence-led operations by the Violence Crime Response Unit. Authorities recovered three AK-47 rifles and one Scorpion rifle from the suspects.
