The suspects were stopped for a routine check in front of a police station, but got triggered owing to the fact that the policewoman filmed them.

The mob, numbering more than 30 in two buses and a car, were stopped for a routine check in front of Taaba Police Station in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

It was gathered that the deceased, a widow, was among the team of policemen conducting the search when the youths travelling to Akwa Ibom State for a wedding programme approached them before they carried out the tragic act.

Trouble started when a police team queried the validity of the document of one of the cars they were travelling in.

According to a source, who pleaded anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident, the youths became aggrieved and blocked the road and demanded that a senior cop who had their car papers should return them and allow them to go.

He further said the officer handed over the papers to them and after completing the search asked them to leave, but that they refused, alleging that they saw Erekere filming them and immediately tried to seize her mobile phone.

When they could not take her phone, they started throwing stones at her and used sticks to hit her. They also beat the other policemen who ran away. But they continued to beat the woman until she ed out.

The source said, “On April 25, 2024, at about 2:30 pm, Inspector Christiana Erekere (female) while on duty at Taabaa Division in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, was beaten to death by some group of persons with three vehicles from Delta State going to Akwa Ibom State for marriage.

“The boys were intercepted at a stop and search point, directly opposite the police station, Taabaa, by a police officer… The particulars of one of the vehicles were collected by a Deputy Superintendent of Police because of unclear explanation concerning them.

“The police officer decided to go to the office so that he could be furnished with sufficient information. Now, the deceased saw the way the boys were chasing her superior officer and she started raising an alarm for help so that the attack would be prevented, but unfortunately, no one was there to assist or prevent this group of people that succeeded in attacking the police station and killing the innocent woman.

“The boys quickly attacked her because they said she was making a video of them. Even when she fainted, they continued beating her and left her and drove away, on their way to Akwa Ibom.

“The source said they were apprehended by another police team while trying to escape and that about 17 persons were identified and arrested while others were still at large.”

Meanwhile, the family of the deceased police woman had called for justice, saying she was serving the nation and did not deserve to be killed like that.

The elder sister of the victim, Nule Felix lamented that her sister was mercilessly killed and that she was rushed to a hospital but was only confirmed dead.

Meanwhile, the Rivers State Police Command said it had arrested 16 of the persons involved in the barbaric act, pointing out that investigations were ongoing.

That’s if God gat ur back

Lies full the report.. But now na big problem them enter.. The way police go frame them with lies en.. They go tay for prison sha

Police for that road,na the worse in the country, every 500m na check point and they will demand non-existent documents,-allocation paper, another type of road worthiness, another type of police certificate, another type of proof of ownership.

But those boys did plenty wrong.

They don enter case wey their power. Why beat and kill a police officer when u were not been attacked. Let them get the best lawyer to defend them.

God will judge those hoodlums, why kill someone out there for our safety?

Imagine taken the life of a hustling widow.....what will be the outcome of her children now?
I pray those hoodlums face severe judgment for their behaviors......eyes for eyes....life for life

Bleep

Lawlessness everywhere.

RIP to the poor widow.

Nigeria just happened to her in a very tragic way for doing her job.

River state is always on the news for wrong reason

He dey smoke Igbo

It's well.

I seriously doubt if the accused persons killed the policewoman directly as being alleged. There is no sign of violence on the body of the woman. The woman may have had an underlying delibitating illness now triggered by the scuffle which led to her untimely death. I have no doubt in my mind that the police merely wants to frame these people with murder out of bitterness. But I have confidence in Tunji Disu of Rivers St. He will gets to the root of the matter.

For police to check illegalities has now become illegal to some people.

Una go smell shit; call am jollof.

A very big problem

No man or woman in uniform deserves to die like this.

The culprits should be made to see their ears without using a mirror. It will serve as a deterrent to others who like attacking our policemen and women.

Funny civilians like filming policemen on duty but don't want a policewoman on duty to film them.

RIP to her... you just died for a country that's not worth it.

This is terrible...a widow just died leaving the children orphans....anger management should be thought in high school and university ..when anger is not properly checked , disaster is the aftermath...nobody will ask what police did that provoked this guys ..what is known is that they kill police officer on duty...the prison term will be very long that's if they don't get the death penalty...RIP to the woman and RIP in advance to this unfortunate youths....

Na wa o

Policewoman for that matter

A serious police team would have sent a BOLO alert to the police at the akwa Ibom boundary

Dey don kill popo woman


Is well o

Sad

A

These ones don buy market oh. Most of them go remain for police prison for life while others go pay plenty money to free themselves from going to prison.
Those youths shouldn't have taken the law into their hand.

Just like say you go beat Federal government wife to death 💀


This one will be kept and the federal maximum prison with no manhuud because those women there were definitely need the manhuud for some suya..

Na so trouble go reach some innocent persons o.

I can bet that amongst the occupants of those buses, there'll be those who had no interest and did not take part in the exchange between the mob and the police. However, with the present outcome, them go explain tire, no evidence.
