Gunmen Kill Police Inspector in Rivers

The Rivers State Police Command, on Thursday said some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed one of its officers, Sunday Baba.

The Command posted a brief statement on its X handle on Thursday, saying that Mr Baba, a police inspector, who served at Rumuolumeni area of the state, lost his life on duty on Wednesday.

“It’s sad that being a police officer means leaving home in good health, never certain of your return,” the Command said without providing details of how the operative was killed.

The killing occurred two months after another operative was killed by gunmen while conducting a stop and search operation in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

DAILY POST reports that this incident is one of the many attacks on police operatives by gunmen in the state.
