The
IGP salutes the courage and gallantry displayed by officers of the Yobe State
Police Command in containing the menace of insurgency in the State. He is
highly pleased that in spite of imminent challenges, the officers exhibited a
high sense of patriotism and dedication to duty.
While
regretting the death in active service of three officers in the unfortunate
incident of Monday 20th July, 2015, the IGP observed that but for
the indomitable spirit, sacrifice and professionalism of the deceased officers,
the terrorists would have detonated the explosives in a high profile target.
To
further consolidate the commendation, the IGP has approved the post-humous
promotion of the deceased officers.
He
has also ordered the Medical Department to foot the medical bill of the injured
officer. In addition, four children each of the deceased officers will be offered
scholarship up to secondary school level while the families will be afforded
priority in the budding Police Housing Scheme.
Similar
gesture will be extended to other officers who paid the supreme sacrifice in
the course of fighting insurgency.
