The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM,mni has ordered full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of three (3) Police operatives and one (1) Civilian, and serious injury to other Police operatives, who were on investigation activities to Ibi, Taraba State, to arrest one Alhaji Hamisu indicted in a series of high-profile kidnap incidents in the State.

The Police Operatives, led by ASP Felix Adolije of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) reportedly came under sudden attack and serious shooting by soldiers of the Nigerian Army, along Ibi – Jalingo Road, Taraba State. The Operatives, who were taking the arrested suspect, Alhaji Hamisu to the Command Headquarters in Jalingo, were shot at severally by the soldiers despite sufficient proof that they are Police personnel on legitimate duty. Three Policemen (comprising one Inspector and two Sergeants) and one civilian died as a result of gunshot injuries sustained in the attack while others sustained serious gunshot wounds.

The soldiers thereafter released the handcuffed suspect, Alhaji Hamisu, who is now on the run. Alhaji Hamisu, a notorious kidnap kingpin, has been on the Police wanted list for his complicity in several high-profile kidnap cases including the recent abduction of an Oil-Mogul in Taraba State wherein a ransom of about One Hundred Million Naira (N100,000,000) was paid.

The IGP has ordered the AIG Medicals to proceed to Jalingo to ensure concerted efforts in the treatment of the injured Police officers. The remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue. Meanwhile, the Force has commenced a full investigation into the bizarre and unfortunate incident.

I just hope this is a lie

Nothing justifies the senseless action of these BALLOON HEADS who called themselves soldiers. Why kill the innocent policemen and release a criminal who was clearly in handcuffs? Pure madness! This is just sad, very sad. The soldiers involved should be arrested and charged with WILFUL MURDER immediately. '

But why is the IGP flexing muxle with Sowore suppoeters, so when they meet their match them go gentle

F

surviving in Nigeria is a skill on its own... hectic country.

You hope it's a lie?

This better not be true

Only in Nigeria that soldiers engage in jungle justice.

Damn ..see how one of the policemen defecated on his body .. Buhari has reduced this country to the stone age

Unfortunately this news is as true as steel, I didn’t want to believe it myself

Naija which way

The police killed themselves. Why can't they be on their uniform whenever they go on operation?

I think there should be a proper synergy between all forces to avoid this kind of thing from repeating again

This is Nigeria.

Dude that was a team under Intelligence Response Unit, they are undercover cops. No uniform is no excuse to open fire without being fired upon

Besides they were in a bus with police license plate, with their IDs. To top it up the soldiers released the suspect (a kidnapping kingpin) obviously 2+2 = 4 #IfYouKnowYouKnow.

Zoo

That the attackers may have worn Camos doesn't prove they were actual Nigerian military personnel.
They may be members of the kidnapping cartel who set up a 'check-point' in order to rescue their apprehended leader.

There are so many crimes being committed by criminals disguised as military personnel.

Just saw the statement from the Nigerian Army.

It's quite unfortunate and a show of unprofessionalism from both sides.
You would expect such operation to include planning a secure route (by the police in cooperation with the Army) from the pick-up point to the Police HQ.

You are very correct... obviously the last mile security and rescue team for the kidnap kingpin...gang members dressed up as Soldiers..

Let's analyze...Kidnap kingpin pre-arrest security arrangements with next door neighbor or next house.. or Aboki shining shoe or selling chewing gum and biscuits near the house.... anytime police come to arrest, send message to last mile security and rescue team to mount guard and check all vehicles.

Probable pre-arrest briefing of King pin to Last mile security gang members dressed as Soldiers... if you see kingpin in any vehicle with handcuffs, just open fire.

very correct.
I advised that any body seen around that wukari/ Ibi axis in military uniform should by investigated, cuz the Jukuns militias are always seen in comos.

....this is bad.....


.....Serious Misunderstanding.....


But in this kinda covert operation, security operatives within the vicinity should've been briefed.....

.....unless they suspect some might have been involved...... What do i know......

The ZOO lives on...

There is more to it, maybe the police try to claim jasebond, Nigerian police don't have manners

This county is gone, believe me. See even the one that was alive, and the person videoing it trying to convince them they are working with i.g, see how he was being dragged on the floor. I regretted watching this video early morning. Even if they were kidnappers as claimed, why would the solders remove the handcuffs and let the suspect escape? shouldn't it be that he needed to be kept and be a witness for them?
What i thought happened was that the man in questions has lots of informants and networks. All high profile kidnappers likely do this. So when he was hunted down, his boys contacted the military guys at the check point likely being some of their covers and protectors working for them that he was being taken away, then they laid ambush for them and shot them. This was not a mistake at all. They shot at the vehicle and it somersaulted and selectively targeted the police in the vehicle while allowing the suspect to go. It is a clever execution to cover track. I noticed that is very common to arrest kidnappers in the north and not kill them unlike in the south that they kill them any how. They always parade them and less killing for only God knows why. So why is this different?
Serious investigations are needed on this but sadly the deed has been done. I repeat, this country is gone , and sitting on lots of explosives, only time will tell.

Oboy! Make dem kuku sell d country.

I might not be utterly right but I can hold this to bad intelligence from our government and DSS... Reading from both ends of their stories (NPF & NA) I would expressly blame the DSS for such poor covert operations like the NPF said and no intelligence or signal given on safe passage of an high profile kingpin of the menace ripping off the country... Just imagine their was signal on all checkpoints marking the identity of the said bus safe passage,what would have been the NA's excuse... Nigeria is still way behind owing to bad leaders and poor governance.

Too much killings in a small country
