Gunmen Kill 3 Police Officers, FRSC Personnel in Enugu Attacks

Unknown gunmen have reportedly killed 3 police officers and one Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) personnel in separate attacks in Nsukka and Udenu local government areas in Enugu state.

Eyewitnesses disclosed that the gunmen first attacked a police division in Umabor Eha-Alumona in the Nsukka area council on Saturday night, claiming the lives of two policemen.

In a distinct incident, the assailants targeted a federal road safety personnel and a police officer, who was attached to the traditional ruler of Egali Amalla Community in Orba, Udenu Local Area, HRH Igwe Patrick Eze, also known as Igwe Waziri. Fortunately, the monarch escaped unharmed.

During the rampage, the gunmen also set ablaze an FRSC van.

As of now, the police authorities have not issued any official statement regarding the killings.

These tragic events occurred less than 24 hours after two police officers were murdered within the state metropolis, prompting Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to announce a 10 million naira bounty on the culprits.

Governor Mbah has pledged to employ all available resources to bring the perpetrators to justice.
