He said, “The manner the rider was killed is alien to Bayelsa State. We have the suspicion that the deceased was stalked from Plateau to Bayelsa and killed or his death is related to a group of criminal elements currently assembled at Ogbia Local Government Area.
“So, the circumstances surrounding the death of the deceased is two dimensional. Our drone was able to capture the signatures of the vehicle that was used to carry out the operation. The last time the vehicle was sighted was that it was heading towards Ogbia.
“As I am speaking to you, the location of the vehicle is yet to be known, but we are sure we will get it soon because we have every detail of the car. So we sympathise with the family of the deceased, but we are sure they will get justice and that will happen very soon”.
Idu also used the opportunity to disclose that the police were now deploying drone technology to tackle criminality in the state.
