GUNMEN OPEN FIRE AT TWO POLICEMEN IN RIVERS

Two Nigeria’s Police Force men have been shot dead by some unidentified gunmen at a stop-and-search point in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

A Commander of a local vigilante group in the area, Phalga Security Watch, Victor Ohaji, confirmed the incident.

Ohaji disclosed that the hoodlums drove their vehicle to the checkpoint that was mounted by the policemen, attached to the Mile One Police division. He noted that the gunmen attempted to make a U-turn after sighting the policemen but opened fire on two of the security agents, who tried to block them.

He advised that the vigilant group needed assistance in the yuletide to fight crimes in the area.

Meanwhile the Rivers State Police Command was yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
