A deadly gang of Fulani herdsmen carrying heavy arms have brutally murdered a policeman in Delta state.
Johnson Ehlakhamen was allegedly shot during shootout with Fulani herdsmen
This is the picture of a policeman who died after he was gunned down during a fatal gun battle with Fulani herdsmen wielding AK 47 rifles.
The herdsmen were said to be wearing police uniforms, armed with AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons before they engaged a team of policemen in a fierce gun duel in Warri, Delta State on February 6th. A number of other officers wounded while one was shot dead.
While speaking to Vanguard, Delta State Police Commissioner, Zanna Ibrahim, who confirmed the incident said that there was no injury, but the Area Commander, who led the team and one other person were 'exhausted'.
It was gathered that the police team, including men of the Dragon, Quik Response Squad and Ughelli Area Command patrol team, had stormed Orhrbo community and surroundings in Ughelli North Local Government Area following reports of rape and attacks on villagers by Fulani herdsmen taking shelter in the bush.
The herdsmen were said to have opened fire on sighting the police.
Although the police denied report of death or injury, Ehimekluemhen Ehizoje Joseph said he lost his elder brother, Johnson Ehiakhamen in the attack. His post below:
