According to an eyewitness, “I spotted two Hilux patrol vehicles pass my shop and I never knew they were being traced by bandits. Just few minutes later, I started hearing that those officers have been shot dead at Aba branch.
When I got there, the two Hilux vehicles were on fire with the officers burnt beyond recognition. As I speak, Oriagu and Isinweke are blocked at the moment.”
