November 08, (THEWILL) – Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted three persons, including two Chinese nationals, at a Quarry Camp in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River.
The Police Spokesperson in charge of Zone 6, SP Nelson Okpabi, who confirmed the incident on Friday, said one officer, a police inspector, was killed by the gunmen on Thursday evening.
Okpabi said the armed men, who allegedly wore military camouflage, also made away with the AK-47 of the deceased officer.
The assailants, according to Police, gained entrance into the quarry “after a worker accidentally allowed a security breach at the gate”.
Meanwhile, the AIG in charge of the zone, Jonathan Towuru, has ordered a thorough search for the armed attackers, promising that they must be brought to book.
He appealed to “the people to be on the lookout and provide any useful information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.”
