Police Public Relations Officer for the command, Grace Iringe-Koko confirmed the incident to newsmen.
The gunmen were said to have captured and dismembered Amgbanshin in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.
The miscreants had laid an ambush for him while on an operation with other police officers to raid some criminal hideouts in Ahoada East axis.
This medium has earlier reported the gruesome killing of the police super cop.
According to a source who does not want to be mentioned for security reasons, said the cultists were armed with about four sophisticated weapons and opened fire on sighting the operatives.
He stated, “There was a shootout for several minutes between the DPO-led men and 2Baba-led Iceland until the operatives ran out of bullets and ammunition.”
The source said while the other officers retreated, Amgbanshin stood his ground.
It was gathered that while DPO Amgbanshin attempted to flee, he had a muscle cramp and the cultists caught him alive and whisked him away.
However, a viral video which surfaced on Friday night showed Angbanshin’s head, hand and private part separated with several deep machete cuts.
In the video seen by our correspondent, the gunmen chanted victory songs while his charted and decomposing remains littered the floor.
One of the cultist while beaming torchlight on his face said in Pidgin English, “DPO, finally na you be dis. Now, how far? “You (referring to Angnanshin) dey challenge Iceland. Who are those men? Iceland, are they dangerous?”
