It adds: “The IGP condemns the attack which resulted in the death of the Divisional Police Officer, SP Ola Rosanla with three (3) other Police officers and left two (2) others injured. He pledges that no stone will be left unturned towards apprehending the perpetrators and bringing them to book.

“The IGP, while paying tribute to the fallen heroes, condoles the families of the four Cops who paid the supreme price in the service of their fatherland, describing the incident as a classic example of the risk and sacrifices the Police are exposed to in their daily task of protecting our homeland.

The IGP enjoins the Agudama Ekpetiama Community and the entire people of Bayelsa State to remain calm and to avail the Police with credible information that will help the Law Enforcement agencies towards apprehending the criminals”.
