Rivers: Nigeria Police kill suspected vandals attempting to bomb pipeline

Published on March 26, 2025 at 09:08 AM

The Nigeria Police Command in Rivers State on Tuesday confirmed the killing of an unspecified number of suspected vandals attempting to vandalize a pipeline in the Rumuekpe Aluu community.

CP Olugbenga Adepoju, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers, revealed this to newsmen in Port Harcourt, stating that the suspects died on the spot.

He reported that the operation was part of the ongoing joint effort with other security agencies to safeguard Rivers.

Adepoju said: “The joint security forces successfully thwarted an attempt by miscreants to vandalise a pipeline, leading to the death of the vandals who sought to detonate it.

“The failed detonation was due to the swift response of security personnel to the incident at Allu-Rumuekpe in Ikwerre Local Government Area, LGA, of Rivers on March 16.”

Adepoju also disclosed that following the success, security forces proceeded to Onelga LGA on March 19, where they stopped another potential bomb attack by criminals.

According to him, two suspects were arrested in possession of four dynamites during the operation.

He added that the police also detonated pods, and other Improvised Explosive Device, IED, components.
