Two police officers attached to Police Dragon Delta State Command were on Sunday shot by robbers who set the patrol van ablaze at the ever busy Oleh/Ozoro Roundabout.
Nigeriacrime.com learned that the attack was coming barely a week after a police Inspector, Jude Ukpaka attached to the Dragon Patrol 19 Team was gunned down along the Ogor/Evwreni axis of the East-West road.
Efforts to get the Delta Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe to confirm the report were abortive as messages sent were not responded to at press time.
A commercial driver who ply the route and witnessed the scene narrated that all vehicles had to park and ran into the bush with their passengers as the suspected robbers shot sporadically.
Though he could not be confirmed the state of the two officers shot at the scene, but said, the patrol van of the police was set on fire by the suspects.
He confirmed that before they could come out of the bush, another police van had come to take the officer shot away.
It is not also confirmed the suspects carted away weapons and other belongings of the police officers, but another unconfirmed source disclosed that the hoodlums came in droves and after killing the two officers, they set the patrol van ablaze.
