The gunmen allegedly met their victims at a checkpoint in the community, near Ekwulobia. They were said to have set the patrol vehicle ablaze after killing the policemen.
The Anambra Police Public Relation’s Officer, Mohammed Haruna, couldn’t respond to enquiries as at press time as efforts to reach him were unsuccessful.
However, a senior police officer confirmed the report. The source said: “Honestly, it’s a black Wednesday in Anambra. I don’t know what those boys want to gain from this act.
“We lost our gallant men today again, few days after the Abia State incident. Do they want us to leave the force for them? This thing is getting out of hands and when our men respond now, some members of the public will start shouting on policemen.”
The Guardian reported that one of the community leaders from Achina, a neighbouring town to Nkpologwu, who also pleaded anonymity, told newsmen he saw up to four dead bodies at the scene. He said: “I don’t think they were robbers, I suspect they are members of pro-Biafra group. Those boys are still angry and our people should be careful.”
