Gunmen have killed two policemen in a checkpoint attack along Presidential road, Enugu.

The development came barely one week after two policemen and three vigilante operatives otherwise known as Neighbourhood Watch Group were killed in another attack by a gang of rampaging hoodlums in Igga community in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu State.

The latest incident, our correspondent gathered, occurred around 9:30 pm on Friday when the officers serving in Ogui Division were conducting stop-and-search along Presidential Road, Enugu.

According to the spokesman of the Enugu Police command, Daniel Ndukwe, the attackers were suspected to be the armed members of the IPOB/ESN who operated in three SUV jeeps.

Ndukwe stated the operatives returned fire, forcing the hoodlums to escape with varying degrees of gunshot wounds and abandoning a recovered Lexus RX 300 jeep with Reg. No. KTU 991 FD.

But Governor Peter Mbah has placed a N10 million bounty on the killers, saying the State would go after the culprits with every resource at its disposal.

Mbah pledged the reward while briefing newsmen after a State Security Council meeting at the Government House, Enugu on Saturday.

The meeting attracted Commissioner of Police,  Kanayo Uzuegbu; Director, State Security Services, Theresa Egbunu; Garrison Commander, 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Enugu, Brigadier General Murtala Abu; and the State Commander, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Peter Ogar, among others.

On the possible culprits, Mbah said available security information pointed to men of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, who came in several SUVs, among them a black Lexus SUV.

He called on members of the public to be on the lookout for the criminals and the exhibits and report same to security agencies.
