Audu Madaki, the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 12, and his convoy were the target of terrorists on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.
They were ambushed by the hoodlums who opened fire on them. While the AIG survived the attack by whiskers, getting away with gun shot injuries, his Police Orderly was not that lucky. He paid the supreme price.
The attack which took place in broad day light, at about 2.30pm, was at Barde Zangidi area of Bauchi State.
In the past couple of months, insecurity has risen to an unprecedented level in the country. The terrorists are getting bolder and more brazen by the day – attacking the President’s advance team in Katsina, the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja, and a detachment of the elitist Guards Brigade, in Abuja, which job is to protect the President.
The Federal Government was forced to close down all schools in Abuja, recently, for fear of deadly attacks on them.
Neighboring towns to the Federal Capital Territory, have been under attack, recently, including a military facility around the Zuma Rock.
