Armed hoodlums have reportedly attacked a team of policemen who were on a stop-and-search duty in Asaba, Delta State capital, carting away two service rifles in the encounter.

The PUNCH reliably learnt that two of the policemen were said to have sustained life-threatening injuries during the attack.

It was gathered that the incident occurred around Interbua roundabout by ASCON Oil Filling Station, along the popular Nnebisi road on Saturday night.

A source who witnessed the attack told our correspondents that the gunmen were driving a tricycle from the Anwai axis of the road when they suddenly disembarked to attack their victims.

The source disclosed that the bandits who numbered four in the tricycle were armed with axes and cutlasses, adding that they successfully stole two guns from their targets.

The leader of the Police team, an inspector, was said to have sustained severe cuts to the head and other parts of his body, while the other victim sustained cuts to the hands.

Sources disclosed that the victims were presently receiving treatment at two different hospitals in Asaba.

When contacted, the Acting Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Chuks Orisewezie, confirmed the attack, saying that some of their men sustained injuries.

Those ones and their itchy trigger fingers? chances are it won't end well for the tricycle thieves if they tried it with sars. those ones will shoot a granny for trying to reach for her glasses from her purse.

The police have started retaliating with media propaganda against dispossessing them of their guns...

Nigeria is a planet on its own.

Maybe I am dumb, but I find it hard to understand how 4 guys with cutlasses will overpower two trained policemen with AK-47 assault rifle. the one time the situation actually requires them to be "trigger happy", they failed badly.
