Previously, on the morning of March 22, Que Phong District Police received information from the public that a Laotian was organizing illegal drug transportation from across the border into the mountainous forest area of Nam Giai Commune, Que Phong District. District police leaders quickly sent a working group to verify the source of information and make a plan to arrest him.
When the task force reached the area, Senior Lieutenant Sam Quoc Nghia volunteered to go first to move closer to the suspected area, to approach and identify the subject. While controlling the suspect, another subject suddenly jumped out from the bushes behind and used a knife to attack Senior Lieutenant Nghia to rescue his accomplice.
Despite being seriously injured, Lieutenant Nghia continued to chase and signal his teammates to control and arrest the suspect. After being taken to the District Medical Center for emergency treatment, Lieutenant Nghia did not survive due to severe injuries and blood loss.
In response to the sacrifice of Senior Lieutenant Nghia, Nghe An Police have completed procedures to propose posthumously awarding him the Second Class Military Exploit Order, promoting him to martyr status, and promoting his military rank.
