In a statement issued by its Director of Public Relations & Information, Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, the Force said while available information remains sketchy, the Theatre Commander OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE is taking appropriate steps to avail it with details of the incident.
“The loss occasioned by this unfortunate incident is deeply regretted.
