Gunmen kill two policemen in Kaduna attack

At least two police officers have reportedly been killed following an unprovoked attack on a police station in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was gathered that gunmen launched the attack on Friday evening, resulting in the deaths of the officers.

The incident has left residents in a state of shock.

Eyewitnesses told the newspaper that as soon as the attackers stormed the station, located a few metres from Kamyim Hotel, Kurmin-Bi Zonkwa, they began shooting sporadically.

The assailants were said to be attempting to free some suspected vandals earlier arrested in Kachia town.

“They believed that the suspects were being detained at the Zonkwa Police Station.”

“However, it was later gathered that the suspects were not being held at the station. But the havoc had already been done,” the witness, who said he did not want to be quoted said.
