Armed robbers invaded the Sunshine Homes estate in Abuja\u2018s Lokogoma district, resulting in the tragic death of retired Army Brigadier General Uwem Harold Udokwere.<\/p>\n

According to the police, the assailants targeted the upscale estate under the cover of darkness.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the robbers encountered Brigadier General Udokwere, who reportedly resisted them.<\/p>\n

During the confrontation, he sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Adeh said: \u201cThe Commissioner of Police in the FCT, Benneth Igweh, has expressed profound sorrow over the loss and extended his condolences to the bereaved family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a deeply regrettable and tragic event. We assure the family and the public that we will leave no stone unturned in our investigation. The perpetrators of this heinous crime will be apprehended and brought to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n

She highlighted the seriousness with which the authorities are treating the case.<\/p>\n

Adeh said: \u201cOur commitment is to ensure swift justice, urging anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis attack has raised concerns about the security situation in Abuja, particularly in residential areas previously considered safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe audacity of the robbers has left many residents in fear, prompting calls for enhanced security measures. The police authority has also increased the number of police officers on the road to tackle the menace.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
