Human rights activist, Harrison Gwaminshu, has disclosed how a notorious serial killer, Kelechi Wofuru, returned to his killing spree as he abducted and murdered seven new victims months after being freed by a High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers state’s capital city.
Gwaminshu made the disclosure in series of posts shared on his X handle on Tuesday.

The activist recounted how the serial killer was rearrested by the police with the aid of his special team, SafeCity Volunteer Foundation, days after kidnapping a bus driver, Ifeanyi Ibobo, in Port Harcourt on Ash Wednesday.
Wofuru and his gang reportedly specialised in abducting drivers in Port Harcourt and take them his hometown in Ubima where they are killed with vehicles and other valuables taken.

“Last year, he was arrested for kidnapping and charged to court. He kidnapped someone. Till today, they have not seen the person he kidnapped. Getting to the court last year November, he was freed.
“From that November till February, this guy and his gang members have kidnapped more than seven persons and killed them.
“It continued until they kidnapped this man, Ifeanyi Ibobo.” Gwaminshu said.
