The Bayelsa State Police Command has revealed how the leader of the Bobos cult group, Olotu Omubo, was k!lled by some of his members who planned to benefit from a change of leadership.

The State Police Commissioner, Mr Francis Idu, disclosed this on Monday, May 5, 2025 during an interactive session with some journalists in his office in Yenagoa.

Omubo, who hailed from Nembe in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, was also a beneficiary of the Presidential Amnesty Programme and leader of the Phase 2 Amnesty beneficiaries in the state.

He was killed along Goodnews Street in the Azikoro axis of Yenagoa on Thursday, April 24.

It was also thought the killing was carried out by some external mercenaries who were recruited for the act in retaliation for other k!llings allegedly ordered by him.

However, Idu said there was an intra cult war within the Bobos cult group and those members behind the k!lling had the aim of profiting from a new leadership.

He assured residents of and end to the cult killings in the state stressing that despite the fact that late Omubo was a notorious cultist who had a record of crimes, he was killed by his own gang members.

The commissioner further disclosed that the police had no option than to let him off the hook when they held him for illegal possession of firearms, but did not give details.

“95 per cent of intelligence available to the police showed that he d!ed due to intra cult rivalry about leadership struggle. They took him out and made it look like inter cult rivalry in order to profit from his death,” the CP stated.

“It is on good authority that the deceased has been involved in nefarious activity. The last altercation with the police is over the issue of illegal gun possession.

“He was controversially influenced to be let off the hook and that is why I have always said when you influence the release of a criminal off the hook, you are building a disastrous effect.”

Idu also announced the arrest of nine suspects for their alleged involvement in various crimes including cultism, kidnapping, armed robbery, unlawful possession of firearms and m8rder.
