The confrontation occurred around 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, when police officers responded to a distress call about an ongoing robbery attack.

All injured individuals were rushed to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital. While the police officers were treated and discharged, Baba-Beru succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

The police command has since launched a full-scale investigation and is intensifying efforts to track down other fleeing members of the gang. The Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, praised the gallantry and swift response of the officers involved in the operation.

CP Bakori further reassured residents of the command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state.
