The spokesperson of the command, SP Gambo Isah, disclosed this in a statement issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Katsina.

He also said that another policeman died in the incident.

“Today, July, 5, 2022, at about 11:30 a.m, a distress call was received that terrorists numbering over 300 on motorcycles, shooting sporadically with AK 47 rifles and General Purpose Machine Guns, ambushed ACP Umar and his team.

“The late Area Commander with members of his team were on clearance operation of recalcitrant bandits/terrorists, in Zakka forest, Safana LGA of the state.

“Consequently, the Area Commander and one other, gallantly lost their lives during a cross exchange of gun fire,” he added.

Isah said that the Commissioner of Police, Idrisu Dabban-Dauda, had expressed deep sympathy to the family of the deceased officers.

He also prayed God to grant the deceased abode in Jannatul Firdausi.

The commissioner reaffirmed the commitment of the police to the ongoing onslaught against terrorism in the state “until it is completely routed out.”
