Gunmen kill 2 policemen in Imo

Gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have killed two mobile policemen in Imo State.

The officers, who are personnel of Mopol 18, Owerri, were ambushed in the early hours of Saturday while on patrol duties along the old Gariki Road, Okigwe by gunmen who threw dynamite on the officer’s patrol vehicle and engaged them in a protracted gunfight.

He said that in the process, two officers paid the ultimate price while four others survived the attack.
