Three mobile police officers on patrol were shot dead in the early hours of Monday on a road between Plateau and Kaduna states. The
incident occurred at Hawan Kibo, the boundary between Plateau and
Kaduna states. Although the police spokesperson, Terna Tyopev, could not
be reached at press time, a police source who confirmed the attack said
the officers’ rifles were also taken away.
The source said the incident occurred at
the same spot where two police officers attached to the special task
force on Jos crisis were shot and killed earlier in the year. Monday’s
killing occurred about 24 hours after gunmen raided Godogodo community, a
settlement in Jama’ar Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Several
residents have since abandoned the community while travellers on the
Jos-Kafanchan-Abuja road have also deserted the route.
