Two police officers and one other person were slain by gunmen on Friday in Amukabra Achalla, Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State.

The three guys were killed by the criminals while trying to reclaim a stolen car, according to Tochukwu Ikenga, the state police command’s spokesman, who confirmed the occurrence in a statement on Saturday in Awka.
He continued by saying that the attackers also lit the victims’ bodies on fire.

Ikenga said: “The police team was on a mission to recover a Toyota Sienna Space Wagon vehicle snatched at gunpoint on July 9 at Oye-Agu Abagana community.

“Four of the police operatives escaped the ambush, while two operatives and the car tracker were captured by the criminals.

“During the counter-offensive operation, police neutralised some of the armed men and destroyed their camps.

“However, some of the hoodlums escaped with bullet wounds after they had already murdered their captives and set their bodies ablaze.

“The remains of the two murdered police officers and the civilian tracker had been recovered and deposited in a morgue while police operation is still ongoing in the area.

“The operatives recovered one human skull, two locally- made Rocket Propelled Grande (RPG) bombs, one single barrel long gun, empty chain of bullet, one Toyota Sienna, one Mercedes Benz Formatic jeep, and two cylinders.

“Other items are a huge quantity of hard drugs of different kinds, one police beret, and belt.”

Anambra has been under the criminals’ siege since February last year with several people, including police officers killed by the marauders.
