On Monday, security operatives raided the mansion of notorious cultist/militant Ejima Igwe Dibia popularly known as Don Wanny in Aligwu, Rivers state. They discovered human skulls, charms, arms and ammunition, including life jackets among many other items.
During the raid which was carried out by OSPAC (Onelga Security outfit) and other security agents in the state, his boys were apprehended at his mansion.
According to reports, he was shot dead by a combined force of OSPAC (Onelga Security outfit) and other security agents in the state.
Prior to his death, Wanny was among gang leaders who recently accepted the amnesty granted by the State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
But he has been repeatedly accused of returning to crime and been responsible for several criminal acts and killings in the Omoku neighbourhood.
Hon.(Barr.) Osi Olisa had few weeks ago, in a statement condemned the dastardly killing of two OSPAC personnel and a civilian in Okposi and Omoku respectively, describing it as “vicious and despicable.”
In the statement, he accused Don Wanni and “forces” loyal to him of being behind the violent attack, and urged OSPAC and other security outfits to get to the bottom of the matter.
These attacks on the security outfit, led to a manhunt for him. He was killed in a gun battle between the security and his lead gang at about 8:45 pm on Sunday.
Residents of Omoku have welcomed the news of his death with excitement as they trooped into the council secretariat where his dead body was kept.
He has been alleged to be responsible for the killing of several Rivers indigenes, amongst them were, one Chief Adube and his three children; the beheading of Franklyn Obi and the killing of his wife and son; the murder of several APC Members and the arson on the home of Hon Vincent Ogbuagu; as well as several others in and around Omoku in Ogba /Egbema/ Ndoni LGA of Rivers State.
Recall that in October 2016, Don Wanny was among gang leaders who recently accepted the amnesty granted by the State Governor, Nyesom Wike. But he has been repeatedly accused of several criminal acts and killings in the Omoku neighborhood.
