ENUGU – The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Olatunji Disu, has expressed concern over the increasing number of police officers being killed in the line of duty, saying the Force continues to record casualties while battling insecurity across the country.
Speaking in Enugu on Tuesday during the commissioning of a state-of-the-art Forensic and Investigation Centre built by Godfrey Okoye University in collaboration with Enugu State government, the IGP said police personnel have continued to make sacrifices in the fight against crime, insurgency and banditry.
“We are trying our best, and we are losing our men while doing it,” he lamented.
Disu recalled the recent death of three officers of the Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit in Maiduguri, who were killed while attempting to detonate an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by insurgents.
