Suspected Cattle Rustlers killed two Policemen, Civilian in Kaduna

Bandits suspected to be cattle rustlers have killed two policemen and a civilian in the Maigana district of Soba Local Government area of Kaduna state.

The incident happened earlier today when the policemen engaged the gunmen, who have been terrorising communities in the region in a gun battle.

The Kaduna state commissioner of police Mr. Agyole Abeh, who confirmed the incident to newsmen, said the policemen were on a routine patrol in the area when they were ambushed by the gunmen who opened fire on them.

The commissioner of police insisted that no amount of attacks against his men would stop them from dislodging the criminals from their hideouts.

Mr. Abeh also reassured that peace has been restored to Southern Kaduna owing to the relentless effort of his men to forestall breakdown of law and order.
