"The person arrowed #RIP in the picture attached is a colleague of mine whom we were basically equipped in the same training ground (Police College Kaduna) namely, PC Yahuza Sulaiman; he is a young and vigorous policeman with full of dreams to accomplish like any other youth, but instead, he has chosen to die so that others might live.
