Unknown gunmen have allegedly ambushed a mobile police patrol team Wednesday evening and killed two police officers in Enugu State.
The incident reportedly happened at about 7:30 pm, Wednesday along the Udi-Ozalla Road as the Operation Restore Peace Enugu team was on routine patrol.
The victims were identified as Danjuma Joseph, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and Inspector Abu Elamaje.
The source hinted that they were rushed to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku-Ozalla for treatment but were confirmed dead by doctors on duty.
Another officer, Inspector Udeme Udomeng, who sustained bullet wounds, was treated and discharged.
This is coming barely two days after about eight security operatives were also ambushed and killed in Imo State.
