Photo: Policeman & 2 Robbers Killed In Anti-Robbery Operation In Port Harcourt

A robbery operation took Port Harcourt by storm in the early hours of Monday when 4-man robbery gang stormed a Newspaper company and attacked their workers.


The owner of the Newspaper corporation was alerted around 1:12am. He immediately notified the police who rushed to the scene.

As usual, the police engaged the robbers in gun fight with residents hearing pa pa pa papa (gunshots). In the gunbattle, a police officer was killed while 2 of the robbers were shot dead.

"I got a distress call from my staff around 1:12 am and immediately alerted the police through one of the police emergency numbers. The police quickly swung into action and arrived our premises. Two of the robbers were gunned down. Unfortunately, one of the mobile policemen was shot dead in our premises," The owner of the company said.

The Nigerian police needs more training when it comes to tackling anti robbery operations like this.

RIP to the officer killed on the line of duty.
