“Mitra is one Finest Police Officer that I have come very close to. Very professional, articulate unbiased and intelligent.
“Last week, when we spoke he told me that he was redeployed to that Bandits infested area of Bangi, all I do was to prayed to God to protect him.
“Then yesterday’s news. I felt highly devastated. I felt cheated. I felt abandoned. For those of us who live in Minna and knew how he was controlling the criminals within the Tundun Wada Area will know of his professionalism.
“May the soul of Inspector Ibrahim Mitra rest in peace.
“I m in mourning.”
