Gunmen on Friday night killed two policemen attached to the Ogui Divisional Headquarters in Enugu State.
The operatives were conducting a stop-and-search along the Presidential Road in Enugu when they were attacked by the hoodlums at 9:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has placed a N10 million bounty on the killers.
The governor, who addressed journalists at the end of a State Security Council meeting at the Government House, Enugu, vowed that the government would leave no stone unturned in the efforts to bring the culprits to book.
He also alleged that men of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), were behind the attack.
The governor said: “We just rounded off our Security Council meeting where we discussed, among other things, the gruesome killing of our policemen—men of the Enugu State Police Command—by criminals suspected to be members of the ESN.
“Let me say this, this bestial and cold-blooded action cannot be condoned in Enugu State. I have given my directives to the security agencies that there must be no hiding place for these criminals in Enugu State. We must use everything necessary to hunt down, arrest, and bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous crime.”
