The Commandant said that the officer had served the corps in different locations, adding that he was dedicated to his duty in an exemplary manner.
“His last location was Kaduna-North Division. He even received an award a day before his abduction and eventual death,” he stated.
While commiserating with the family of the deceased and prayed God to grant them the fortitude to bear the loss, the Commandant urged members of the public to support the activities of security agencies in the state to ensure the safety of lives and property.
