At least two policemen were Thursday killed by a yet-to-be-identified gang along Agbani road in Enugu.

A number of others were wounded in the attack, our correspondent gathered.

The act took place adjacent to Awkunanaw Police Station, formerly Motor Traffic Division of the police, located along Agbani road.

An eye witness said the attackers were hooded, and shot sporadically during the killing of the operatives.

According to him, “The number of the victims is yet to be confirmed. We saw two corpses being carried to the hospital. The wounded were also taken to the hospital.”
