Two mobile policemen were reportedly shot dead early hours of Wednesday by yet-to-be identified hoodlums in Ekete, Udu council area of Delta state.
An unidentified civilian was also killed in the attack that reportedly saw a gun exchange between the late policemen and the gunmen.
According to reports, the mobile police officers were attached to one Club 316 by Old Ekete Junction in the area.
Sources said the incident occurred at about 12:30am.
It was gathered that the armed men carted away riffles belonging to the policemen.
Recall that early February, one Onovughe Jovi was waylaid, alongside the mother and shot dead by suspected assassins around the area.
It will also be noted that insecurity in the council area has been on the rise for a long time, given series of reported cult clashes and robbery attacks perpetuated by unknown hoodlums.
Efforts to get response from the Delta State Police Command proved futile as as the time of filing this report.
