The Nigeria Police is deeply saddened by the heinous act of violence against our officers who were diligently performing their duty to protect and serve the community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen officers during this difficult time.


We wish to reiterate that killers of our officers in this extant case, and many others, have murdered peace, and none of them will go unpunished.
