Gunmen Saturday killed two police operatives and a road safety officer at Orba, Udenu LGA of Enugu State.
The incident occurred around 5:45pm near Total Filling Station. The gunmen also set the vans of police and road safety operatives, it was gathered.
An eyewitness said the gunmen operated in a Jeep, and opened fire at the operatives who were conducting stop and search.
Recall that unknown gunmen last Thursday killed two policemen at Ogui, Enugu. The incident informed the placing of N10m reward to anybody with useful information leading to the arrest of the culprits by Enugu State governor, Mr Peter Mbah on Saturday.
Mbah said available security information pointed toward the men of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), who came in several SUVs, among them a black Lexus SUV.
He, therefore, called on members of the public to be on the lookout for the criminals and the exhibits and report the same to security agencies.
He said, “We just rounded off our security council meeting where we discussed, among other things, the gruesome killing of our policemen, men of the Enugu State Police Command, by criminals suspected to be members of the ESN.
“This bestial and cold-blooded action cannot be condoned in Enugu State. I have given my directives to the security agencies that there must be no hiding place for these criminals in Enugu State. We must use everything necessary to hunt down, arrest, and bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
“We have also placed a bounty of N10 million as a reward to anyone who would have any useful information that will lead to the arrest of these criminals.”
