Police To Promote Officers Killed In Imo Bank Robbery by akelicious(m): 4:50am On Jun 14, 2017 |
The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris Ezike, yesterday disclosed that the police would confer posthumous promotion on two officers killed during a bank robbery in Owerri, the state capital. The deceased police officers – Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko and Sergeant Sunday Agbo – were killed during a gun duel with armed robbers who attacked a branch of Zenith Bank located along Wedethral road in February. The video of the bank robbery, which was captured by Closed Circuit Television Camera (CCTV), has already gone viral on social media. The two deceased officers have been recommended for posthumous promotion while the injured officer has also been recommended for special promotion to his next rank,’’ he said. The police commissioner noted that police authority had not abandoned the families of the deceased officers, who “gallantly resisted the armed robbers and lost their lives in the process.” He added that the state police command has awarded scholarship to children of the two policemen.Ezike also said the bank has promised to take care of the medical expenses of another police officer, Sergeant Otu Attang, who lost one of his eyes during the robbery attack. He said: “We want to thank the bank for the financial assistance rendered for the burial expenses, release of start-up business funds for the families of the deceased officers, monthly allowances to the families, payment of hospital bills and the promise of scholarship to any level for the families of the deceased officers. You are our partners in the security project and we appreciate you even for understanding to bankroll the further treatment of our injured and gallant Sergeant Otu Attang.” A group, Sparm Charity Foundation, led by its founder, John Abuchi Ekweano, yesterday donated N500,000, to the wife of the deceased. more at http://www.akelicious.com/2017/06/police-to-promote-officers-killed-in_14.html

This is what I hate about this country. The late police officers were just fortunate to have the incident covered by security cameras, and to have the clips go viral on social media. If the clips hadn't gone viral, I'm sure the police force wouldn't have succumbed to public recommendation to promote those officers and take up the welfare of their children. The whole development is a good one for the officers involved. But what about those who were killed in circumstances hidden from the public, while showing the same degree of gallantry? Must the social media be involved before our government and its agencies do the right thing? |

Is the police force this deranged that one has to be engaged in a gun fight, get shot at and possibly get killed while it is all captured on camera before he/she gets promoted? |
