Description

Two yet-to-be-identified policemen attached to the Dragon Patrol Team were feared killed as gunmen shot them at their checkpoint along the Ughelli-Asaba Road by the Oleh roundabout, in Delta State, on Sunday.

A commercial driver who narrowly escaped death in the incident, however, said he could not confirm if the two policemen died as a result of the attack but that the police patrol van was set on fire.

He said by the time he and others came out of the bush where they ran into, another police van had been brought to the location to take the victims away.

The state Police Public Relations Officer Command, DSP Bright Edafe could not be reached for comments on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
