OSPAC was disbanded following repeated cases of inhumane treatments including killing by its operatives and calls by people of Emohua Local Government Area to the Police to end their operations.
A community source, who gave his name as Sagbe, alleged that it was OSPAC members that were responsible for the dastardly act to prove their absence from Emohua.
