PRNigeria reports that recently the Divisional Police Officer of Maru Division, Kazeem Raheem, was killed in the same town when he attempted to repel an attack by bandits.
Raheem, who was killed in a gunfight alongside a Police Sergeant and a vigilante, had mobilised his men to foil an attempt by the criminals to kidnap a businessman in the area.
