Killing of police officers resumes in Rivers; 2 dead during stop-and-search
Two officers lost their lives on the sot when some carload of unidentified gunmen sprang on them at a checkpoint.
The incident happened on Okija Street, Port Harcourt, Rivers.
The cops from the Mile One Police Station in Diobu were caught by surprise by the drive-by shooters.
According to eyewitnesses, the two officers died on the spot.
Rivers State Police Command Public Relation Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident.
He said the command is on the trail of the attackers.
Months ago, criminal groups largely identified as IPOB operatives were killing policemen across the state, forcing Rivers Gov. Nyesom Wike to introduce some emergency measures.
