What was meant to be a routine duty ended in bloodshed as three gallant police officers met a brutal fate at the hands of yet-to-be-identified gunmen near Ozudaa Market in Achi, Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The tragic attack occurred at a checkpoint where the officers were stationed to ensure security and order. Instead, the scene was turned into a gory spectacle, now immortalized in a chilling video that has been making rounds online. The footage, though too graphic to describe in detail, shows the lifeless bodies of the slain officers, sparking outrage and sorrow across the nation.
The motive and identities of the assailants remain unknown, and as of the time of filing this report, the spokesperson of the Enugu State Police Command, SP Daniel Ndukwe, has yet to make an official statement or respond to press inquiries.
This latest attack underscores the growing insecurity faced by security personnel in various parts of the country, particularly in the South-East, where law enforcement agents have increasingly become targets of violent assaults.
The Enugu State Police Command is expected to launch a full-scale investigation into the incident. Nigerians, especially residents of Achi and the surrounding communities, are left reeling in shock and fear as they await both answers and justice.
More details will be published as the story develops.
