Police authorities in a tribute today listed the noble deeds of three officers who were killed by soldiers in Taraba State as they were transporting a notorious kidnapper that had just been arrested.

·       The arrest of UMAR Abdulmalik, the overall Boko Haram Commander of North Central Nigeria and several of his group members. 
·       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 thirteen (13) terrorists responsible for the kidnapping of the Magajin Garin Daura in his home town Daura, Katsina State on 1^st May 2019, among many other outstanding feats.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A. Adamu, NPM, mni commiserates with the families, friends and professional colleagues of the fallen heroes, reassuring them that their death will not be in vain.

The IGP equally calls for calm among Nigerians as efforts are in top gear to unravel the mystery surrounding this bizarre crime.
