The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed shock over the news of death of the former spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Nnamdi Omoni.
Omoni was reported to have died passed on Tuesday at Rivers state Teaching Hospital (RSTH), some days after marking his birthday in Port Harcourt.
A statement by Comrade Darlington Nwauju, Spokesperson of the Rivers APC on Wednesday, said that the late DPO operated an open door policy in his time as an image maker and facilitated a human rights desk for the State Command.
“We pray that his legacy of interventions that instigated an alternate dispute mechanism regime at the State Command shall not be swept away.
“Our party being a law-abiding political platform, shall always cooperate with the State Command and relevant security agencies to ensure that we witness credible and violence-free elections by 2023.
“The APC in Rivers State prays the good Lord consoles all those he left behind and grants the Command the fortitude to bear this great,” the party added.
Meanwhile, the State Police Command on Wednesday said the entire Command has been thrown into mourning over the sudden death of Omoni.
A release signed by the Command’s spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko conveyed heartfelt condolences to the Omoni’s family, friends, and all the good people of Rivers state.
“Further development will be communicated in due course, after consultations with the family members. Meanwhile, condolence registers have been opened at the division and his family home”, the statement added.
