In a statement signed by its National President, Mandy Abuluya, the ECDA described the killing as brutal and unacceptable.

The late officer, an indigene of Nasarawa State, was serving as Divisional Police Officer in Rano before he was killed.

The group expressed condolences to the officer’s family, the Aren Eggon, the Nasarawa State Government, and the Nigeria Police Force, urging authorities to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.

ECDA also demanded adequate compensation for the officer’s family, including full education support for his children.

The ECDA emphasised that protecting law enforcement officers from mob violence and criminal elements is a non-negotiable duty of government.

It also demanded that all tiers of government fulfill their constitutional duty to protect both security agents and civilians.
