Gunmen Kill Cops, Kidnap Rivers Oil Coy MD

Three policemen on escort duty were on Thursday evening shot dead by gunmen at the Rumuokoro area of the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Also, the gunmen kidnapped the Managing Director of an oil and gas company based in Port Harcourt.

The policemen, who were in a Hilux vehicle, were said to be escorting the company’s MD and members of staff of the firm when they were intercepted.

The daredevil gunmen blocked the vehicle in which the top oil workers were, and immediately rained bullets on the policemen who attempted to stop them from achieving their aim.

With the policemen killed, the gunmen reportedly isolated their target after identifying him, dragged him into their own vehicle and zoomed off.

The gunshots sent cold shivers down the spine of residents and business owners who scampered for safety.

Within minutes, the area was deserted, as the gunmen left unchallenged, while the lifeless remains of the three cops became a spectacle.

One of the voices in the video said, “It happened live at Rumuokoro. Live and direct. Jesus Christ! They have killed three policemen and kidnapped the person they were escorting. Look at bullets on the floor.”

From the video seen by our correspondent, blood was still dripping from the head of two of the cops.

When contacted, spokesperson of the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident, saying a full scale investigation had been launched.

“Yes, it is true that three policemen were killed. It is very unfortunate. They were providing escort for the oil company workers when the incident happened.

“But we are on it and an investigation has been launched immediately into the incident with a view to apprehend the suspects,” Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, said.

Can insecurity ever end?

These days, I am more afraid to travel interstate for the fear of one thing or the other.

While you are trying to stay alive from fake friends and relatives, you have that neighbour playing Jon Snow....you can't even survive without trying to survive anymore!

All late night journeys now look like a risk when it really should not be so.

Human government has failed

Dear God we commit our going out and coming in into your hands....the country has been messed up by APC.
you don't have to be told to be obedient seriously cuz it's crystal clear that APC don't mean anything good for this country.

JW phrase.

The way them dey take kill policemen they tire me... when them no go give them proper training for camp.... All the policemen in Nigeria are weak, malnourished old men with pot belle...

If our government can recruit young and vibrant men within age 23-40 and increase their salaries handsomely... I think the battle will be sweet with this unknown gun men...

How can you compare a young and vibrant gun men to our old papas in police uniform... Rip to them though

I laughed when Woke said all the oil companies is Nigeria which most headquartered in Lagos should relocate to Niger Delta.

In business, security of your personnel is number 1. Imagine kidnapping Apple CEO. What do you think will happen to their stocks in 5 minutes. Billions of dollars will be wiped out

"Gunmen kill cops"?

I wander why we just love to dey copy the Americans. Police is known as Police in Nigeria, which one b cops again
