Ikenga said the incident which happened on Friday July 15, made police to launch a counter attack during which it uncovered that the two police and civilian car tracker had been killed and their bodies set ablaze.

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

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

“Unfortunately, some of the hoodlums escaped with bullet wounds, haven already murdered their captives and set their bodies ablaze.

“The remains of the two murdered police officers and the civilian tracker have been recovered and deposited in a morgue, while police operation is still ongoing in the area to track the fleeing gang members,” he said.

The police spokesman also said they recovered one human skull, two locally made Rocket Propelled Grande (RPG) bombs.
