The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris on Thursday, paid a condolence visit to the family of ASP Cyril Nwosu.
You will recall that between last week, a group of IPOB
members armed with Petrol Bomb and other offensive weapons attacked and
burnt down Ariaria Police Division, Aba.
They burnt down one police vehicle and two exhibit vehicles
parked at the Division and attacked Police Officers at the Division
with dangerous weapons. In the process, some of the Police personnel
were seriously injured. ASP Nwosu, who was among those seriously
injured, was rushed to the Living Word Hospital where he was admitted.
The doctors battled in vain to save his life but he sadly
died as a result of the injuries sustained. The hoodlums also carted
away three (3) Pump action Rifles, ammunition and destroyed other Police
security materials.
In his characteristic empathy, the IGP gave a posthumous
promotion to the late ASP and promised to look into the possibility of
elevating the widow, who is an Inspector to a higher rank.
He also announced police scholarship to the only child left behind by
the deceased, whom he described as an officer that died in the service
of his country.
