Five
officers of the Nigeria Police Force slumped at the Police College, Ikeja,
during a parade to mark the pulling out (retirement) of senior police officers.
The event, which lasted for about two hours, was held in honour of seven retiring
officers, made up of two AIGs and five commissioners.
Midway
into the ceremony, a policeman slumped and was quickly attended to by the
paramedics, who later carried the man away in an NPF ambulance. Almost
immediately after the incident, 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 attracted top officers of the Police Force, was witnessed
by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar; the Chairman,
Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro (retd), and among other dignitaries.
Abubakar
commended the retiring officers for their selfless service to the force and the
nation.
The event,
which was also used to reward some officers and men of the force, was held
amid tight security.
The highlight of the occasion was the symbolic pulling out of
the retiring officers.
