Gunmen kill policeman, steal rifle in Kaduna
The Kaduna State Police Command
on Monday confirmed the death of a policeman shot by gunmen on
Sunday in Ungwan Muazu area of Kaduna.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the attack came a week after a team of the state security outfit, Operation Yaki, came under attack from gunmen in Tudun Wada area of the city.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olufemi Adenaike, who confirmed the two incidents, said Sunday’s attack was carried out by gunmen on a motorcycle, who killed the police officer and took away his gun.
He said the command would investigate the incident as the policeman was supposed to be on duty elsewhere as of the time of the shooting.
On the attack on Operation Yaki personnel in Tudun Wada, Adenaike said they were also attacked by gunmen on motorbikes while on patrol.
The police commissioner said no life was lost in the incident but confirmed that some of the officers were injured.
