  • “It took great restraints for the operatives to ignore the unprovoked attack but insisted on arresting the suspect.
  • “As the team drove away with the suspect, their vehicle was pelted with stones and other dangerous objects that damaged the windshield and three operatives suffered varying degrees of injuries in the process.
  • “The injured operatives are currently receiving medical attention at the Medical Centre of the Kaduna Zonal Command, while the suspect is in custody, pending the conclusion of the investigation.”

Bawa’s reaction: The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, in his reactions commended the operatives for exercising great restraint under extreme provocation.
