Violent crime seems to have returned to Anambra as gunmen whose identities were not immediately ascertained have attacked men of the Anambra State Police Command, killing at least two officers.
The state has been peaceful for months, following a heavy
attack on criminals, especially gunmen masquerading as Biafra agitators, until
Sunday night’s incident.
The incident happened alond Awa-Ndiukwuenu-Ufuma Road, where
it was gathered the men accosted the policemen on patrol and shot at them,
leaving two bodies on the main road.
A keke operator plying the road last night, who witnessed
the incident, said he was riding along the road when he suddenly started
hearing gunshots ahead, prompting him to dump his tricycle and head into the
bush for safety.
In a voice note he made, he said: “After sometime, I came
out of the bush and retrieved my Keke and continued my journey, then I got to
the spot where the thing happened.
“Two policemen are lying on the road here, and their police
van is parked by the road side. I decided to make this voice note to post on
the platform because I think one of the policemen is still alive, so that
anyone who knows police authorities will tell them to go and save their
members,” the distressed keke rider stated.
No official police reaction has been made on the incident as
of the time of filing this report.
