“After waiting for a while, one of the police vehicles volunteered to clear the road for them. Unfortunately, they fell into the robbers’ trap. They opened opened fire on them and took away all their rifles,”
with solemnly profound sorrow and pain, I offer my condolences prayer to the families of our fallen heroes that paid the ultimate sacrifice for securing and defending our father land. especially the policemen escorting the deputy governor of Nassarawa state and others sisters agencies.However,after observing the gory pictures of these dead policemen,other pertinent questions is, Are these policemen provided with body armour? most of these VIP units are not given the necessary tools to protect the protector before protected. it now high time for igp to lecture the heads command of such vip units to warn it’s men to always kitup first with body armour before embarking on any mission that failures to do so, I think severe sanctions to be mended on their superior officer for lack of supervision.
