FOUR KILLED IN GUNMEN’S ATTACK ON UNITED STATES EMBASSY CONVOY IN ANAMBRA.

The Police Public Relations officer in Anambra State Tobechukwu Ikenga yesterday confirmed that four persons were killed following an attack on a United State US Consulate staff convoy along Atani, Osamale Road in Anambra State but said no US citizen was in the convoy.

The hoodlums murdered two of the PMF operatives, and two staff of the Consulate, and set their bodies and vehicles ablaze, and on sighting the responding joint security forces abducted two Police operatives, the driver of the second vehicle and took to their heels.

While expressing the Command’s regret over the convoy’s entry into the state without recourse to the police or any other security agency in the area, Ikenga guaranteed that the police won’t be deterred in their battle against insurgents.

In the wake of the attack, the US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby said no American citizen was affected.
