Kidnap kingpin Honest Digbara, popularly known as Bobisky has died hours after he was arrested by the Rivers state Police command.
He died after multiple gunshot injuries and machete wounds sustained during gun battle with Policemen.
Bobisky was arrested alive early Saturday at Korokoro in the Tai Local Government Area in a sting operation led by the Divisional Police Officer of Bori, Superintendent Bako Angbashim.
Governor Nyesom Wike had earlier placed a N30 million bounty on Bobisky’s head, saying he'll reward any member of the public who can provide useful information that will lead to the arrest of the criminal.
Speaking after the arrest, the state police commissioner, Joseph Mukan, said, “He was arrested through credible information at Korokoro Community in Tai LGA where he was hibernating with his gang of killers.”
He was said to be attending a funeral when policemen and vigilantes acting on a tip stormed the area but on sighting them, he opened fire leading to a gun battle which, on the spot, claimed the life of his younger brother said to be his driver.
Bobisky, a terror to several residents in the Ogoni area of the state, has been linked to most of the criminal activities recorded in the area.
