Aminu, with Force No. 457046, was
commended for confronting and shooting to death two armed robbers during a gun
duel.
Imohimi made the commendation on
January 23, 2018, at the Police Headquarters, Ikeja.
The CP said that Aminu, attached to Mobile
Police Force, Squadron 20, was posted to China Civil Engineering Construction
Company (CCECC), located at Odunade, Alaba. He was at his duty point when he
sighted a group of armed robbers along the Lagos/Badagary road.
Imohimi said: “The armed robbers,
who came in a motorcycle, were attacking motorists. The robbers immediately
fled when the policeman moved closer. The Corporal initiated a hot pursuit,
caught up with the hoodlums at Alakija and engaged them in a gun battle. Two of
the hoodlums were eventually gunned. One locally made pistol, one Nokia
phone, a bag filled with valuable items and a motorcycle were recovered."
Imohimi urged other policemen to
emulate the heroism of Aminu as he presented him with the Commissioner of
Police's Certificate of Commendation. He added that the certificate would be
kept in the policeman's file to give him an edge over his colleagues whenever it
was time for promotion.
