The Bayelsa State Police Command has announced the dismissal of Sergeant Obrientele Ebiarede over his alleged involvement in the recent abduction of a state High Court Judge, Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro.

Ebiarede is an indigene of the Foutorugbene community in the Ekeremor Local Government area of the state.

The state police command has also declared Ebiarede a deserter under Section 398 (1) of the Police Act and Regulations 2020, for abscondment from duty for more than 30 days.

Although the combined team of the Department of State Services (DSS) and ‘Operation Puff Adder’ arrested eight of the alleged suspects involved in the abduction of the judge, the dismissed sergeant is still at large.

It was gathered that the police officers attached to ‘Operation Puff Adder,’ led by CSP Chris Nwaogbo, had stormed the home of one of the suspects, Emizibo Clement, alias Obonor, located at Edepie and recovered the motorcycle used by the dismissed sergeant to supply logistics to the kidnappers.

Sources at the state police headquarters revealed that signals have been sent to all state police commands and the 17 zonal commands to apprehend Ebiarede, while also directing the stoppage of his salary.

Our correspondent recalls that the judge, Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro, who was kidnapped in June, regained his freedom after 13 days in captivity.

Though he was released from the kidnappers’ den without the payment of ransom, his abductors had last Saturday demanded N300 million in foreign currency for his release.

Eight suspects, including six males and two females, were, however, paraded by the state Commissioner of Police, Francis Idu, for their alleged involvement in the kidnapping.
