The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the death of three officers and the disappearance of seven others following a deadly ambush on its Tactical Teams in Benue State.
According to a statement by Force PRO, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the attack occurred on Friday, September 19, 2025, at Agu Centre in the Katsina-Ala/Ukum axis. He said the attackers were suspected armed herdsmen and local militias.
Six suspects have already been arrested and are reportedly providing useful information as investigations and search operations continue.
This incident comes just days after a similar ambush in Egbe, Kogi State, on September 10, which also claimed the lives of three officers. A tactical response team has since been deployed in the affected areas.
