Four policemen heading for Anambra
State on election duties were shot dead by gunmen in Edo State.
It was gathered that the policemen,
who were deployed from Osun state and travelling in a truck, came under fire at
the Benin by-pass after which four of them were believed to have died.
It could not be ascertained whether
the attackers were armed robbers or they deliberately attacked the policemen.
Details of the attack were also
sketchy. Edo Police spokesman Emmanuel Eguavoen said he had not been briefed when
spoken to on the telephone last night.
