The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on Thursday in Lagos honoured police Sergeants killed by suspected armed robbers at Zenith Bank Plc, Owerri, Imo State by naming a building after them.
Idris said that Sergeants Sunday Agbo and Iboko Chukwu were honoured because they died in active service, stressing that the gesture would encourage others.
Gunmen on February 22 invaded a branch of the Zenith Bank in Owerri and killed the officers.
A two-storey building constructed by Police Mobile Force, 20 Squadron at 1, Issues Street, GRA, Ikeja, led by CSP Abubakar Yakubu, was, therefore, named after them.
Speaking with NAN, the widow of Agbo, Blessing, said she was happy her husband was honoured by the I-G.
Blessing, however, called on the police authorities to help her to train her six children.
Rose, widow of Chukwu, also expressed joy over the honour and appealed to the police to assist her in training her seven children.
