IN HONOUR OF SIS 10 FALLEN HEROES
Yesterday, ten brave officers of the Nigeria Police Special Intelligence Squad (SIS) made the ultimate sacrifice while defending a village in Kebbi State from an advancing force of more than 200 terrorists.
They knew they were heavily outnumbered, yet they refused to retreat. They stood between the attackers and the innocent civilians they had sworn to protect. With extraordinary courage and selflessness, they fought to the very end, giving their lives so that others might live.
Ten officers went into battle and did not return home to their families. Behind each uniform was a father, son, husband, brother, or loved one whose life was cut tragically short in the line of duty.
Their sacrifice is a painful reminder of the courage demanded of those who stand on the frontlines to protect our communities. May their families find strength in knowing that their loved ones gave everything in service to their nation.
May their souls rest in eternal peace. Their courage will not be forgotten.
“Roma has risen from their ruins! Manolas, the Greek god in Rome, the unthinkable unfolds before our eyes. This was not meant to happen. This could not happen. This is happening. Barcelona, extraordinarily, eight minutes from elimination, and Di Francisco does not know where to go. Iniesta does not know where to look. It is a Greek from Mount Olympus, who has come to the seven hills of Rome and pulled off a miracle.”
