The Cross River State Police Command has warned residents against going to the waterfront, saying the command is working hard to secure the area from criminal activities.
The state Commissioner of Police, Sikiru Akande, stated this at the command headquarters on Tuesday while parading 26 suspected criminals.
He said, “Now that the tide of the water is getting high at odd times, I want to use this opportunity to warn our citizens to desist from going close to the waterfront. We have not been able to clear the criminals at the waterfront and we are working towards getting results.”
While speaking about the suspects, the police boss said the command arrested a man who beheaded his aunt and buried her head in a shallow grave.
“He was found to have killed a woman, cut off her head and buried it in a shallow grave inside his house.
“By the time we intervened, we discovered that he had been engaging in fetish activities. The Cross River State Police Command will not tolerate any form of criminality.
“We will continue to work with public spirited individuals to ensure that all these criminals are smoked out and we achieve a paradise state,” he added.
He said the command was committed to actualising the desire of the Inspector-General of Police, Baba Alkali, to restore peace and assured that the command was collaborating with traditional institutions, religious leaders, youths and community leaders to track down criminals.
A gun, bullets, charms and other stolen items were recovered from the suspects. ,,
