Reports say the officer was caught in the middle of heavy gunfire from unknown armed men who resisted the operation. Sadly, the officer could not make it out alive. His colleagues rushed him for medical help, but it was too late.
The EFCC, in a statement, condemned the attack and promised that justice will be served. They also assured Nigerians that the death of their officer will not stop them from fighting corruption and fraud across the country.
This is not the first time such a tragedy has happened. In Port Harcourt, a police officer was once killed while chasing suspected internet fraudsters who opened fire to escape. In another case in Lagos, a DSS operative lost his life during a raid against kidnappers.Tragedy in Port Harcourt: Man Crushed to Death by Dangote Truck Today
These repeated attacks raise questions about the safety of security agents who risk their lives daily to protect citizens and enforce the law. Many Nigerians are calling on the government to provide better protection, equipment, and support for operatives so their sacrifices will not go in vain.
For now, the nation mourns the brave EFCC officer whose life was cut short in the line of duty. If you’re reading from phoenix click on read original to watch video.
