…They are Inspector Mark Edaile from Edo State, Sgt. Usman Danzumi from Taraba State and Sgt. Dahiru Musa, from Taraba State.
The Nigeria Police on Thursday said its gallant, outstanding IRT team killed by Soldiers in Taraba State consists of some of the most disciplined, proficient and hardworking Police investigators in the service of the Nation.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba said that until their untimely death in the hands of soldiers of 93 Battalion Takum, Taraba State, the officers participated in several high profile and high risk arrests, rescue missions and investigative operations.
Mba said some of the operations include; “The arrest of Nigeria’s most notorious kidnap kingpin, Evans,
the arrest of 22 Boko Haram terrorists responsible for the 2014 kidnapping of the Chibok School Girls in Borno State and the arrest of UMAR Abdulmalik, the overall Boko Haram Commander of North Central Nigeria and several of his group members.
Others include; “The arrest of the kidnappers of two American and two Canadian citizens in Kaduna State and most recently, the rescue of Magajin Garin Daura in Kano State and arrest of the 13 terrorists responsible for the kidnapping of the Magajin Garin Daura in his home town Daura, Katsina State on 1st May 2019, among many other outstanding feats.”
Mba said the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, commiserated with the families, friends and professional colleagues of the fallen heroes, reassuring them that their death will not be in vain.
IGP Adamu equally calls for calm among Nigerians as efforts are in top gear to unravel the mystery surrounding this bizarre crime and prayed that their souls rest in peace!
