Some yet-to-be-confirmed Gunmen on Wednesday evening killed three policemen during an attack in the New Haven area in the Enugu State capital.
According to The PUNCH, it was gathered that the incident happened on Wednesday night around 10:30 pm in front of Francis Supermarket at Block bus stop.
The gunmen believed to be armed robbers stormed the area and engaged the policemen on stop-and-search duty in a gun duel.
“Unfortunately, three policemen were overpowered and shot dead. The hoodlums also took away their guns,” one of the sources said.
A security alert sent out by nearby residents read: “It happened at block bus stop in front of frank supermarket.
“Three policemen down already. Guys for our information, in case we still dey outside avoid new Haven.
“Two battered policemen are still lying lifeless here.”
