The late officer was shot dead by suspected armed robbers who broke into his apartment in the guise of being EFCC Operatives and on noticing he was a Police officer, he was shot in the head. The Commsioner of Police Delta State immediately detailed tactical teams to go all out for the suspects. At about 0630 hours of same date, the reinforcement comprising of the Command's Joint Security Outfit A.K.A Operation Delta Hawk arrested eight suspects who have confessed to the act and murder of the late police officer. 


The Commissioner of Police CP Wale Abass on behalf of the command commiserate with the family of the late officer and assures them of justice.
