Six Policemen Killed As Suspected Gunmen Attack Police Checkpoint In Ebonyi State

 


Some suspected gunmen, in the early hours of Friday, attacked a police checkpoint at Ebiya Bridge along the Hilltop area of Ebonyi Local Government area of Ebonyi State.

Sources in the area confirmed that six policemen were brutally murdered, and two girls suspected to be civilians were said to have equally been killed during the violent attack.

The attack on police operatives at the Ebiya Bridge police checkpoint is not new as a similar incident happened on November 17, 2023, where two police officers on patrol were murdered by suspected gunmen.

The Ebonyi Police Command is yet to confirm this latest incident as several calls placed to the Acting Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, remained unanswered.

Friday’s attack is the latest in the long list of assaults on police facilities in the South-East. Several public facilities have been attacked in the region with security agencies and others dying in the process.
