The Borno State Police Command is grieving the death of two Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) who passed away just a day apart.
In a statement released on Monday, the command’s spokesperson, ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, confirmed that the senior officers died between February 20 and 21, 2026.
According to him, ACP Danjuma Muhammed, in charge of the X-Squad unit, died on February 20 after a prolonged illness, while ACP Abubakar A. Balteh lost his life in a fatal motor accident on February 21.
Daso noted that tributes were paid to the late officers during Monday’s briefing in Maiduguri, attended by members of the management team, Heads of Departments (HODs), and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs).
