in Abuja” on Friday. Two others arrested in connection with the
incident include Tamarapreye Victor and Azi Newton; both men aged 34.

candidate of one of the major political parties in the House of
Representatives Elections in Brass Constituency, Bayelsa State.

See the full statement below…

The Police have arrested Hon. Israel Sunny Goli, the mastermind and
ringleader of the irresponsible, unprovoked and unwarranted attack on a
Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Kola Okunola in Twon, Brass, Bayelsa
State, on Sunday, 24th February, 2019. Two other persons arrested in
connection with the incident are (i) Tamarapreye Victor, ‘m’ 34yrs and
Azi Newton ‘m’ 34yrs.

Hon. Israel Sunny Goli, a candidate of one of the major political
parties in the House of Representatives Elections in Brass Constituency,
Bayelsa State, was arrested in his hideout somewhere in Abuja this
morning, 1st March, 2019 in a well-coordinated covert operation. His
arrest is in line with the directive of the Inspector General of Police,
Ag. IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni for the immediate arrest, comprehensive
investigation and diligent prosecution of all persons involved in the
Sunday, 24th February, 2019 attack on the DCP in Twon, Brass, Bayelsa
State

It would be recalled that while leading the team providing protection
for INEC officials, voters and materials, DCP Kola Okunola was brutally
attacked and molested by thugs led by Hon. Israel Sunny Goli.

Meanwhile, effort is ongoing by the Police to apprehend other members
of the gang involved in the unwholesome attack on the officer.

As we go into the Governorship/House of Assembly Elections slated for
Saturday, 9th March, 2019, the IGP reiterates his earlier warning that
the Nigeria Police Force under his watch will not condone any act of
assault against any member of the Public, including the personnel of the
Force legitimately assigned to protect the sanctity of the ballot.
