The Rivers State Police Command has exhumed the body of notorious cultist Gift Okpara, also known as 2 Baba, the prime suspect in the murder of former Divisional Police Officer Bako Angbashim in Odiemudie community, Ahoada East Local Government Area, in September last year.
This came just a week after police said the dreaded leader of the Iceland cult was killed during a joint security raid in the Idu-Ekpeye community in Ahoada East, though some of his loyalists snatched his body and fled with it.
On Thursday, a police source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that operatives swooped on some loyalists of the killed cult leader and led them into a deep forest where his remains were buried.

“The operation occurred at midnight on Thursday, and his body was exhumed and transported to town,” the source said.
Already, a trending video seen by our correspondent showed operatives holding torchlights digging the ground and attempting to exhume the decomposing corpse.
Meanwhile, our correspondent learned that the state police command has scheduled a media briefing for 11 a.m. today, during which journalists will learn how late 2 Baba’s body is expected to be recovered.
