Rivers state police command has rewarded a police inspector, Yerima Habila, who disarmed a three-man armed robbery gang in Onne, Eleme Local Government Area of the State.
State Commissioner of Police, Okon Effiong, commended Habila for his courage, and gave him a cash reward of N200, 000.
Effiong explained that the command was simply rewarding gallantry and dedication to duty, even as he expressed the hope that the gesture would spur others to achieve greater feats.
He stressed the need for operatives, especially those in the tactical unit to be trained in unarmed combat in addition to their weekly and monthly training to enable them to defend themselves when the need arises.
