New Year’s Day Killings: ‘We Attacked Omoku Because Don Waney’s Mother

The police Force Headquarters, in Abuja, have paraded one of the masterminds and a senior member of the deadly cult group that massacred some innocent worshipers at Omoku, village Rivers State, on new year day January, I.

The suspect, Desmond Okotubo, 32, and father of three, hails from Egbenma in Onelga Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He said the group embarked on the deadly attack to avenge the arrest and humiliation of the mother of Don Waney, the deceased leader of the group and also the destruction of Waney’s property in the state, as well as to teach the vigilance group in the town a lesson for daring their leader.

Okotubo, who is now in custody of the police, however, revealed that their plan to attack the town was hatched at Owerri, Imo State, and that their real target was the member’s vigilante group.

He said they never planned to attack worshippers who had just closed form the cross over service, but somehow the operation just went wrong.

The suspect, who was paraded before newsmen, promised to help government fish out the rest member of the gang, even as he said he does not know if their late leader was being used by some politicians to cause trouble in the state.

He told journalists in an interview that “It was Don Waney that did it. We followed Don Waney and he has a group that he gave gun to shoot called “Red Squad”. I did not hold any gun and I don’t know about it but he has a group called red squad.
