The Lagos State Police Command has announced the death of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Festac Division, Matilda Ngbaronye, who passed away on Friday, after undergoing surgery at the Mayriamville Medical Centre, Bode Thomas, Surulere, Lagos.
In a statement issued on Saturday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, the police described her demise as a huge loss, noting that she was an exemplary officer who served with dedication, professionalism, and integrity.
“The Command mourns the loss of a truly upright and dedicated officer who served with unwavering professionalism and integrity.
