Kayode Egbetokun, the acting inspector general of police (IGP), has demanded the detention and punishment of those responsible for the murder of security personnel in Imo State.
Police officers, military personnel, members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and agents from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) were among the security personnel who were attacked. They claimed to be responding to a distress call from the area, but it turned out to be a hoax intended to draw them into an ambush.
The incident took place on Tuesday in Oriagu, Ehime Mbano Area, Imo State, according to the police.
According to a statement issued yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi: “The Nigeria Police Force deeply mourns the recent attack on security operatives in Imo State, an event that has resulted in the tragic loss of precious lives of officers from various security agencies who have been dedicated to ensuring peace and protecting lives in Imo State.
“This serves as a stark and painful reminder of the daily risks and sacrifices that our security personnel willingly embrace in their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our communities.
“The Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has, however, assured the public that the NPF is fully committed to collaborating closely with other relevant authorities to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into this heinous act while relentlessly pursuing the cause of justice.”
