Police Crush “ThankGod” Notorious Criminal Kingpin In Rivers State [PHOTOS]

• As CP Disu Vows to End Reign Of Terror

The Rivers State Police Command has made a significant advancement in its continuous campaign against cultism and other associated crimes in the state.

A team of police officers was sent to the Ogbologbo neighbourhood in the Ahoada West Local Government Area today, April 8, 2024, in an effort to put an end to the terror that one Ikem ThankGod, also known as General 2man, had been causing.

A formidable force in the Ahoada West Local Government Area and its surrounding Local Government Areas, General 2man was a close associate of the now-neutralized 2Baba and General Odereke. One of his heinous deeds on April 13, 2023, was shooting Inspector Usang Ude to death.

On March 5, 2024, he also murdered four persons, namely, Henry Kirirka, Patience Henry, Abigail Victor, and Chigozie Okpo. He also slaughtered one Samuel Philip without provocation. Last month, he buried several persons alive, including Christmas Ede and Agode Gamany.

He has carried out a lot of kidnapping activities within and outside the Ahoada West Local Government Area. His catalogue of criminal activities also includes armed robbery and vandalisation of valuable properties. He coordinates the deroofing of public buildings and the selling of the roofing sheets. He also constituted himself as an authority that approves social events within the Local Government Area. This has made him attack and disrupt weddings, burials, etc., which he did not approve of.

During the operation, General 2man and his gang opened fire on the Police tactical team. Though he was able to evade arrest, his second-in-command, ThankGod Uchechi aka, ‘Pastor SP,’ and his third-in-command, ‘Western King’ Okpo Emenike were fatally wounded. Several gang members escaped with gunshot injuries, and two loaded AK-47 rifles and eight magazines were recovered from the gang. Concerted efforts are in top gear to bring General 2man and his fleeing gang members to justice and put an end to his reign of terror.

Tunji Disu, the commissioner of Police, at Rivers State Police Command, while commending the tactical team for their efforts, reiterates his commitment to fighting crimes in the state. He equally urged members of the public to feed the police with reliable information that could lead to the arrest of the fleeing suspects and other criminal elements in the State.
