128 policemen killed in three months – Idris

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, said 128 policemen had lost their lives to criminals in various parts of the country in the last three months.
Idris said this in a statement issued by the Force Spokesman, DCP Don Awunah, in Abuja on Wednesday.
“In the past three months, the Force has lost 128 personnel in various parts
of the country due to activities of undesirable elements in our communities,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the IGP as saying in the statement.
“These line of duty resultant deaths, occasioned by unwarranted attacks by religious bigots, bandits, hoodlums and militants must be reversed and the trend halted,”
The IGP also condemned the wanton destruction of police infrastructure and public assets.
“The recent cases in Dankamoji village in Maradun local government area of Zamfara, Abagana in Anambra, and in Okrika waterways in Rivers where personnel were killed, arms carted away, structures and equipment destroyed are cases in point,” he said.
