The spokesperson of the command, Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident on Thursday in Port Harcourt, assured that an investigation has been kicked off to get to the root of the crime that has caused pandemonium in the whole community.

She said: “We are aware of the incident and investigation is ongoing to find out what really happened and to apprehend the suspects.

“For now our men are in the community and normalcy has been restored.”
