A female police officer was shot dead on Tuesday by some gunmen in Ika Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria’s South-south.

The police spokesperson in the state, Odiko MacDon, confirmed the killing which appeared to be a continuation of the attack against security agents in the country’s South-east and South-south regions.

Mr MacDon identified the slain police officer as Esther Akpan, a police corporal.

She was killed alongside a police special constabulary, Isonuyo Paul.

“On 27/4/2021, at about 7:00 p.m., some armed men on motorcycles heading towards Ika Divisional Headquarters vicinity, armed with AK-47 and other dangerous weapons with the intent to attack the Division and set it ablaze met stiff resistance as the Divisional Police Officer and other officers on ground fought gallantly and repelled the attackers who took to their heels with possible bullet wounds,” Mr MacDon, a superintendent of police, said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Unfortunately, before heading towards the Station to attack it, they ambushed and killed a Woman Police Corporal, Esther Akpan who had just closed from duty and was on her way home in company of a Police Special Constabulary, Isonuyo Effiong Paul,” he added.

A patrol vehicle belonging to the local police station was set ablaze by the gunmen, the police spokesperson said.

The police said they had launched an investigation into the attack.

Apart from Ika, there have been incidents of such attacks on police and soldiers in Essien Udim Local Government Area of the state recently.

See the name of the officer.

Congratulations to unknown Gunmen for ambushing them. At least the lunatics that are their supporters can eat the corpse of the slain officers.

U are definitely one of those paid by this evil government to spread lies on social media...people like u should b constantly attacked on social media cos thats the best we can do to get back at government...people like u should b attacked and chased out of social media...

Every single day , blood is shed

Shed from violent killing!!

Peoples shot, butchered , beheaded

Human life cost is worthless

Soldiers ,police personnel and civilians sacrificed on a daily basis

North, south, east and west is burning

Every one is asking the problem in abuja for solution

What is stopping NASS from doing what they should do

Why can't the executive be removed and someone else brought in

If you are Biafran and my relation and you are serving in the Nigerian police I won't weep for you a single bit when UGM gets at you. I swear

I dont know what training this police has but they act as if they are not part of the struggle...
