SOME hoodlums, yesterday, attacked and killed two police officers operating at Ikpe Annang junction in Essien Udim local government Area of the state
The hoodlums also set ablaze a Hilux van belonging to Quick Response Squad attached to the Essien Udim Police Division and stationed at Ikpe Annang junction where the attack took place.
According to the residents of the town, the attack appeared to be a reprisal on the police over their renewed fight against insecurity in the area which has been fruitful as some miscreants have been recently arrested.
They noted that before the latest attack, hoodlums had earlier stormed a police station in the area twice, destroyed property and inflicted machete wounds on police officers.
The residents noted that the injured police officers were unconscious for months.
The Ikot Ekpene Area Commander, ACP Bello Kankofori while reacting expressed shock at the attack on policemen.
He also assured that the police would fish out those behind the attack and called on residents to assist the command with information to flush out criminals from the area.
Esse Umoh, the lawmaker representing Essien Udim in the State House Assembly who visited the scene of the crime also condemned the attack describing it as barbaric.
