Unknown gunmen, on Thursday evening, reportedly shot and killed an Inspector of Police and also abducted two Chinese nationals in a bloody operation at Quarry Camp in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River.
The Police Public Relations Officer in charge of Zone 6, SP Nelson Okpabi, confirmed the incident in a statement issued in Calabar and made available to newsmen on Friday.
Okpabi further stated that a Nigerian was abducted alongside the two Chinese.
According to the statement, the armed men, who allegedly wore military camouflage, also made away with the AK-47 of the killed officer.
