The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the attack but did not give the number of casualties.

Some of the tricycle operators plying the road, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said armed hoodlums came in a Sienna car and Lexus Jeep and opened fire on the unsuspecting policemen on duty.
