The Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu has ordered a
manhunt for the perpetrators of the Agudama Ekpetiama Police Station attack.
Adamu ordered the deployment of crack detectives from the
IGP-intelligence response unit (IRT), the forensic and homicide sections of the
FCID and special operatives of the Marine Police Department to Yenagoa to
complement the efforts of the Bayelsa Police Command in carrying out a discrete
investigation into the incident.
The gunmen invaded the police station in the early hours of
the day, killing four police officers and leaving two others seriously injured.
They also carted away rifles, ammunition and police uniforms
from the station in an operation that is alleged to have lasted for close to
one hour.
Meanwhile, the IGP has condoled with families of the four
officers who were killed.
According to him, the incident is a classic example of the
risks and sacrifices the police are exposed to in their daily task of
protecting the nation.
