Gunmen Kill Police Officer, Abduct Two Chinese.
A police inspector was reportedly shot dead, while two Chinese Nationals were abducted by gunmen, on Thursday evening, at Quarry Camp in Akamkpa LGA of Cross River State.
The Police Public Relations Officer in charge of Zone 6, SP Nelson Okpabi, who confirmed the incident in a statement issued in Calabar on Friday, added that a Nigerian was abducted alongside the two Chinese.
Okpabi intimated that the armed men, who allegedly wore military camouflage, also made away with the AK-47 of the killed officer.
It added that the hoodlums gained entrance into the quarry “after a worker accidentally allowed a security breach at the gate.”
According to the PPRO, the AIG in charge of the zone, Jonathan Towuru, has ordered a thorough search for the armed attackers, promising that they must be brought to book.
“The Police hereby appealed to the people to be on the lookout and provide any useful information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators,” he stated.
