According to Okpabi, the hoodlums gained entrance into the quarry premises following a security breach by a civilian worker at the gate.

He said that the AIG has directed the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Zonal Criminal Investigation Department to proceed immediately to the scene, while coordinated efforts were in progress to clamp down on the hoodlums, release the victims unhurt and bring perpetrators to justice.

“The AIG commiserates with the slain inspector’s family, relatives and friends.

“He has resolved not to rest on his oars until the victims are released and justice served on those behind the dastardly act,” he stated.
