Tears flowed in Yenagoa on Friday as the Bayelsa State Police Command laid to rest Constable Oboh Goodluck, who was brutally murdered by suspected cultists in Amarata community on August 19. The late officer was attacked on his way to work in the OMPADEC area, a killing that sent shockwaves across the state.
At the funeral rites, Commissioner of Police Francis Idu announced that six suspects had been arrested in connection with the murder.

Speaking on behalf of the bereaved family, Comrade Kwokwo Robert expressed gratitude to the police for their support during the burial. He however pressed for justice, stressing that the killers of Constable Goodluck must not escape accountability.
