The police in Nasarawa State have engaged the services of vigilance groups to apprehend the bandits who allegedly killed a police officer in the Wamba Local Government Area of the state.
The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Nasarawa State Command, Samaila Usman, who disclosed this in a telephone interview with the Northern City News in Lafia on Thursday, added that the command had also deployed personnel in the area, assuring that the perpetrators would soon be caught.
He said, “Our men have been mobilised to within and outside the area. We are on top of the situation to ensure that those behind the killing of our officer are brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.”
“We have also engaged the services of vigilance groups and sister security operatives in the state that could help with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the suspected bandits that killed the officer while on duty in the Wamba LGA of the state,” Usman added.
He appealed to the members of the public to report to the police anyone with bullet wounds and expressed worries over the killing of policemen across the state.
