Some yet to be identified armed men have attacked a Federal Road Safety Corps patrol team in Anambra State, killing two operatives and injuring the unit commander.
The team was reportedly conducting a routine patrol operation along Igbo-Uku- Uga route at about 2.45pm on Sunday when the gunmen opened fire on the driver and two other officials while the fourth official escaped into the bush.
Confirming the incident, the Corps Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem said, ‘Two operatives shot dead as unknown gunmen attack FRSC patrol team in Anambra State.’
“The Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, who was visibly touched decried the attack while condoling with the families of the deceased staff, the unit commander and staff of Igbo-Uku command, and the entire management and staff of the corps over the loss and prayed for their souls to rest in peace.”
Vantage News gathered that the team leader, who sustained injuries, was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
