It
was earlier reported that the mastermind of the January 1st massacre in
Omoku, Rivers State was killed in a shoot out with the Army and
operatives of the Department of State Security. The Nigerian Army has
released a press release on the operation
PRESS RELEASE
END OF THE ROAD FOR NOTORIOUS CULTIST, KIDNAPPER AND MASS MURDERER- DON WANEY
The
authorities of 6 Division Nigerian Army Port Harcourt wish to inform
the peace loving people of Omoku in ONELGA in particular, Rivers State
and indeed the entire good people of Niger Delta in general that the
notorious cult leader, kidnap kingpin and mass murderer Don Waney is
dead.
Recall that in the early hours of Monday 20th
November 2017, troops of 6 Division Nigerian Army acting on credible
information from some patriotic members of the public raided the evil
Don Waney enclave in Omoku, ONELGA Rivers State where shocking
discoveries of assorted weapons, dynamites, bags of suspected cannabis,
full military camouflage uniforms, military boots, military
communication radios, 10 human skulls and human bones were discovered.
Additionally, in continuation of the operation on Tuesday 21st November
2017, the troops also exhumed decomposing bodies of some of his victims
in his shrine in the glaring eyes of the media who were invited to
witness first hand.
Perhaps not satisfied with the
numerous lives of innocent citizens he took, Don Waney masterminded the
despicable New Year day mayhem in Omoku in which he led his notorious
gang of criminals to murder 23 peace loving citizens of Omoku when they
were returning from Cross Over Service at about 1:30am on Monday 1st
January 2018.
Intense surveillance activities on him and
his gang by the Department of State Services (DSS) Rivers State Command
revealed that after committing these atrocities he relocated to a
neighbourhood within Enugu Town in Enugu State where he rented an
apartment and started living among unsuspecting neighbours within the
community.
From the relative safety of his newly-rented
apartment, Don Waney was already perfecting plans to wrought another
mayhem in Omoku in which he was to attack churches, schools, Army and
Police locations and the RESIDENCES of the generality of the already
traumatized people of Omoku. However, following his successful
geo-location to his new Enugu neighbourhood hideout by the DSS Rivers
State Command, a combined team of troops of 82 Division Nigerian Army
Enugu and personnel of DSS Rivers State Command raided the hideout to
arrest him and his other accomplices. Incidentally on sensing that the
combine team were closing in on his residence, Don Waney, his Second-
in- Command (Ikechukwu Adiele) and another gang member (Lucky Ode)
attempted to escape through the back exit of the apartment and were shot
down by the eagle eyed troops in the process. One of them died on the
spot while the other 2 who sustained gun shot wounds eventually died
while being evacuated for medical attention.
The remains
of Don Waney and his cohorts were brought back to Port Harcourt Rivers
State by the combine team and handed over to the Rivers State Police
Command for further action.
To this end, the authorities
of 6 Division Nigerian Army Port Harcourt wishes to use this
opportunity to extend their condolences to the families of all the
victims of the evil Don Waney and his gang. We also wish to solicit your
further cooperation in volunteering useful information to track down
and arrest the remaining gang members so as to bring them to justice for
a peaceful, prosperous and secured Omoku community, ONELGA, Rivers
State and the entire Niger Delta region.
You are kindly requested to disseminate this information to the general public. Thank you for your usual cooperation.
