The Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, took to her official X (formerly Twitter) handle to announce a heartbreaking incident that unfolded last Sunday. A group of dedicated police officers, committed to their sworn duty of protecting the public, tragically lost their lives in a violent clash with members of the Shi’ite sect.
“These brave officers embarked on their duty to ensure the safety and security of our community, but, tragically, they paid the ultimate price,” SP Adeh stated. She expressed profound sorrow over the devastating loss, emphasizing the profound impact on the families of the fallen officers, who were the primary breadwinners of their households. “One can only imagine the deep sorrow and anguish their loved ones are experiencing at this moment,” she added.
As the FCT Police Command mourns the untimely demise of these valiant officers, SP Adeh offered prayers for their souls, hoping they find eternal peace. The tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the inherent risks law enforcement officers face daily in their quest to maintain peace and order.
This incident highlights the urgent need for continued dialogue and understanding between security forces and communities to prevent such devastating losses in the future. The FCT Police Command remains resolute in its commitment to safeguarding the lives and properties of all residents, even in the face of such daunting challenges.
