The Mastermind of Attack on DCP Kola Okunola Nabbed in
Abuja
The Police have arrested Hon. Sunny Adi, the mastermind and
ringleader of the irresponsible, unprovoked and unwarranted attack
on a Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Kola Okunola in Twon,
Brass, Bayelsa State, on Sunday, 24th February, 2019. Two other
persons arrested in connection with the incident are (i)
Tamarapreye Victor, ‘m’ 34yrs and Azi Newton ‘m’ 34yrs.
Hon. Sunny Adi, a candidate of one of the major political
parties in the House of Representatives Elections in Brass
Constituency, Bayelsa State, was arrested in his hideout somewhere
in Abuja this morning, 1st March, 2019 in a well-coordinated covert
operation. His arrest is in line with the directive of the
Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni for the
immediate arrest, comprehensive investigation and diligent
prosecution of all persons involved in the Sunday, 24th February,
2019 attack on the DCP in Twon, Brass, Bayelsa State.
It would be recalled that while leading the team providing
protection for INEC officials, voters and materials, DCP Kola
Okunola was brutally attacked and molested by thugs led by Hon.
Sunny Adi.
Meanwhile, effort is ongoing by the Police to apprehend other
members of the gang involved in the unwholesome attack on the
officer.
As we go into the Governorship/House of Assembly Elections
slated for Saturday, 9th March, 2019, the IGP reiterates his
earlier warning that the Nigeria Police Force under his watch will
not condone any act of assault against any member of the Public,
including the personnel of the Force legitimately assigned to
protect the sanctity of the ballot.
