The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, honours 10 officers who die during an encounter with suspected bandits in Kebbi State, declaring that their families will never be forgotten. He makes the pledge at a memorial parade held to commemorate the fallen members of the Special Intervention Squad.
Both outlets report that Disu also signals continued police action against banditry and other violent crimes. Vanguard adds that the IGP vows a relentless pursuit of the criminals responsible for the deaths, framing the commemoration as part of broader efforts to counter ongoing insecurity. Daily Post Nigeria focuses more on the recognition and assurances to the bereaved families, while both agree on the number of officers killed, the Kebbi location, and the involvement of the Special Intervention Squad.
