He conveyed the condolences of the Force Management Team and the entire Nigeria Police Force to the families of the fallen officers, assuring them that their sacrifices would not be forgotten.
The police chief said the loss, though painful, would further strengthen the resolve of the Force to sustain ongoing operations against banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes. He charged officers to remain focused, resilient and professional in the discharge of their duties.
Disu also commended the command for its recent operational achievements, including the arrest of criminal suspects, recovery of explosives and other dangerous materials, recovery of stolen motorcycles, rescue of kidnapped victims and successful operations against armed bandits.
According to him, the successes recorded by the command underscore the effectiveness of intelligence-led policing, operational commitment and collaboration among security agencies in addressing security challenges.
The IGP assured officers of continued efforts to improve operational capacity, logistics, welfare and other resources required for effective policing across the country.
He further emphasised the importance of intelligence-led operations, community partnership and synergy with other security agencies in the fight against banditry and other forms of criminality.
