The family of the slain police officers who tried to rescue some foreign nationals in the creeks of Niger Delta are currently in sad mood; Sgt. Sanusi Lanre of the IG special intelligence Response staff IRT, was shot in Delta State on 8/11/17 during a gun battle with kidnappers who abducted four British citizens in the state.

The gallant police officer died after a surgery was conducted on Thursday to take out the bullet and then rectify the harms caused.

One of the abducted British citizens was allegedly killed after he and three others were kidnapped in October. His coworkers were freed why he had been murdered.

On sighting the detectives, he pulled out a pistol and shot two police operatives, Sgt Sanusi Lanre and Sgt Agunbiade Adebayo.

One of the kidnappers was however gunned down from additional police officers while the two others were detained alive.

The injured police officers are on admission at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, (DESUTH).
