Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen reportedly invaded Enugu, the state capital, killing three policemen and a popular security chief on Thursday.
The gunmen were said to have attacked a police checkpoint at Timber Junction, Maryland/Independence Layout, in Enugu North Local Government Area of the state around 12 noon, killing three cops from Uwani Police Station in the process.
It was gathered that they also kidnapped a woman who was in an SUV vehicle with her driver. The hoodlums reportedly shot sporadically into the air to clear their way from the scene.
The Enugu State Police Command allegedly said that the manhunt for the hoodlums had been intensified.
A source was quoted as saying, “It was a terrible situation. They created tension in Enugu yesterday. We were in a long traffic caused by the police officers before the gunmen came and ordered us to move out of the road. The next thing we heard were the raining of gun shots.”
Later in the day, some gunmen invaded the Meniru Street, Agbani Road house of a popular security head, Ogbonna Ani, otherwise known as ‘Jango’ and he was shot dead.
