RIVERS POLICE: CLAIMS OF HUMAN PARTS IN BAGS IS NOT TRUE- POLICE. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE


 POLICE PRESS RELEASE

10/10/2024


The attention of the Rivers State Police Command has been drawn to news making the rounds, especially on social media, of bags containing decapitated human bodies dumped behind the Omega Power Ministries along Iwofe Road.


The Police responded swftly to the claims by contacting the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) to jointly examine the bags. The sole administrator of RIWAMA, Hon Prince Ohia Obi, led the agency’s public health team to carry out the examination process. It was discovered that the bags did not contain any human parts. Rather, the bags were filled with poultry debris dumped by yet-to-be-identified individuals.


The Rivers State Waste Management Agency has since evacuated the debris to one of the designated dumpsites in the city of Port Harcourt.


Those rumours were evidently peddled by mischief makers intent on misleading the gullible public, causing panic and generating unrest. The Command frowns at such behaviour and warns those rumour mongers to desist from it.


Rivers residents can go about their lawful business without fear as the alarm was false. We also encourage members of the public to identify and make use of the assigned refused dumping sites close to them to prevent misleading information such as these, please.
