Benue Lawmakers Rename Street After Slain ASP Dan Zuru for Bravery

Benue lawmakers passed a bill to rename a major street in honor of late ASP Danlami Usman, known as Dan Zuru, who was slain in the line of duty. The renaming aims to immortalize Usman's courage and efforts to restore peace in the Sankera axis.

Usman was killed in a deadly ambush by suspected Fulani bandits in 2025. The legislative house unanimously supported the motion to rename the street, reflecting the community's resolve to honor the fallen officer's sacrifice.

The decision to rename the street serves as a tribute to Usman's bravery and dedication to maintaining peace in the region.
