Five Police Officers Slump on Parade Ground

At least, five officers of the Nigeria Police Force slumped on Friday at the Police College, Ikeja, during a parade marking the pulling out (retirement) of senior police officers.

The event, which lasted for some hours, was held in honour of seven retiring officers, including two AIGs and five Commissioners.

 

Halfway into the ceremony, a policeman slumped and was quickly attended to by the paramedics, who later carried the man away in an NPF ambulance.

While they were battling to revive the man, three others, including a woman, also slumped. Paramedics, who attended to them, gave them sachet water, which they drank and also poured on their heads.

The fifth man that slumped was taken out of the parade ground by the medical team.

The ceremony, which was attended by top officers of the Police Force, was witnessed by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar; the Chairman, Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro (retd), among other dignitaries.
