Two policemen have been gunned down in Anambra State by some suspected kidnappers wearing military camouflage.
The command in a statement on Friday said the officers were killed around Uga roundabout in Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
The assailants were reportedly on a kidnap mission, when a team of policemen attached to a motorcade ran into them on Thursday night.
The command said the officers were trying to clear the traffic gridlock, when the gunmen shot two of them dead and fled the scene.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed that the assailants wore military fatigues, said the Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye, had directed an intensive manhunt for the assailants.
