In a statement on Wednesday in Maiduguri, the Command’s Spokesman, ASP Nahum Daso said the incident occurred on May 20, 2024 at about 9:09 pm when the DPO of Marte Division received a complaint from one Adam Abatcha, a Senior Community Health Extension Worker (SCHEW) in charge of Maternal and Child Health Clinic New Marte that some unknown gunmen numbering about six invaded his house and attempted to abduct him.

Abatcha told the slain police officer that he struggled and escaped from his abductors before running to the police station.

“The DPO SP Pius Sunday mobilised his men to the scene, sadly the team was ambushed. The DPO was fatally wounded and one Insp Sani Murtala was brushed by a bullet on his thigh.

“The injured victim is currently responding to treatment at University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), while the corpse of the DPO has been deposited at the UMTH mortuary,” the police spokesman said.
