An unspecified number of policemen have been killed in Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State by rampaging Gunmen as early as 7:30 am this morning.
Though details of the sad event are still sketchy, the unfortunate incident is said to have occurred in Ebem, Asaga area.
Sources report that the area is said to have been deserted as residents scampered for safety over fear.
This comes barely two days after two police officers assigned to Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, a member of the House of Representatives representing Isiala-Ngwa North/South Constituency, were reportedly ambushed by armed assailants while on official duty in Umuahia.
The incident which occurred on Sunday around 8:30 pm left one police officer who sustained multiple gunshot wounds dead while the other officer and the driver escaped the attack.
Efforts are ongoing to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chinaka for comments.
Details shortly…
