Police Promise Justice for Three Officers Killed in Kwara Attack

The Nigerian Police Force, and specifically the Kwara State Command, has been dealt a grievous blow with the brutal killing of three officers during a cowardly attack on the PMF camp in Tenebo Village. Our hearts go out to the families of these fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. This heinous act will not stand, and we assure the citizens of Kwara State that justice will be served.

I have received with profound shock and deep sorrow the report of a deadly attack on the PMF Camp at Tenebo Village, Kaiama LGA, which occurred in the early hours of today, 2nd May, 2026.

Commissioner of Police Ojo Adekimi has rightly condemned this barbaric assault, emphasizing that the officers died defending the safety and security of our communities. Their sacrifice is a stark reminder of the daily risks our law enforcement officers undertake. We stand in solidarity with the bereaved families and pledge our unwavering support during this moment of immense grief. The injured personnel are receiving treatment, and we pray for their swift recovery.

This heinous and cowardly act, which claimed the lives of three gallant police officers and left several others critically injured, is strongly condemned in its entirety.

Let there be no mistake: the perpetrators of this attack will be hunted down. The Kwara State Command is deploying all available operational, intelligence, and tactical resources to ensure that those responsible face the full force of the law. There will be no hiding place for them. This is not just an attack on our police force; it is an attack on the peace and stability of our state.

“

The fallen officers paid the ultimate price in the line of duty, bravely standing to defend the safety and security of our communities. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

While we mourn our fallen officers, it is crucial to acknowledge the ongoing efforts to combat crime across the state. In a significant breakthrough, the command has also successfully arrested six suspected kidnappers and recovered firearms in the Baruten Local Government Area. This dual focus—bringing perpetrators of violence to justice while actively dismantling criminal networks—demonstrates our commitment to securing Nigeria. From our perspective at The Punch, this story highlights both the persistent challenges of insecurity and the resilience and determination of our police force in the face of adversity.

“

I want to assure the good people of Kwara State that we will deploy all available operational, intelligence, and tactical resources to ensure that the perpetrators of this barbaric attack are tracked down and brought to justice. There will be no hiding place for those responsible.
