Unknown gunmen coming from the neighboring Ekiti State axis have reportedly shot two policemen to death at a checkpoint in Kabba, headquarters of Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The incident, according to an eyewitness, happened at the Origa checkpoint along Kabba-Iyara road, at about 5 pm on Monday.
It was gathered that the suspected criminals who drove in a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) suddenly opened fire on two of the policemen when they flagged them down for routine check.
Sources told our correspondent that three other policemen who managed to escape sustained various injuries as the fleeing robbers shot sporadically to pave their way for escape.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>It was also learnt that the affected policemen were from the newly created Kabba police B divisional headquarters.

Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear that he will only leave Juventus for an English club playing in the Champions League.

The National Coordinator of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Youth Frontier, Comrade Austin Okai, has reacted to the court ruling that sacked Uche Secondus as National Chairman of the PDP.
Okai counselled Secondus to cease from parading himself as the National Chairman of PDP and stay away from the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
He spoke following an order from the Port Harcourt Division of a State High Court that restrained Secondus from exercising the functions of the National Chairman of the PDP.
In a statement he signed, the PDP Youth leader said the party would not disobey court orders.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
According to Okai: “It is in the interest of Prince Uche Secondus to understand that the judgement of the court is binding on everyone except a superior court upturns it.
“Therefore, he must, in his own interest, stay away from the party’s national secretariat and desist from parading himself as the National Chairman in line with the court order.
“As a party of law and order that believes strongly in the rule of law, PDP will not encourage disobedience to the order of the State High Court and Secondus must understand this.”

A militant group called National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), has declared its readiness to engage in battle with the Taliban who recently took over their country.
Recall that the Taliban took over Kabul, Afghanistan capital, on August 15 after the United States withdrew its troops from the country. The armed group subsequently rebranded the country as Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan.
They are also currently working towards forming a new government. Many countries have evacuated their citizens from the nation over fear of attacks.
However, in an interview with BBC, head of foreign relations for NRF, Ali Nazary said they are set for battle against the Taliban, stressing that no one would be allowed to conquer their land.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
According to him, they prefer peace through negotiation, but, however, said if the Taliban fails to embrace peace, they would resort to using force.
“We prefer peace, we prioritise peace and negotiations. If this fails—if we see that the other side is not sincere, if we see that the other side is trying to force itself on the rest of the country—then we’re not going to accept any sort of aggression.
“And we’ve proven ourselves, our track record in the past [40 years] has shown that no-one is able to conquer our region, especially the Panjshir Valley”, he said.

Speaking at the briefing on Monday, Sanwo-Olu said since the start of the pandemic, 5,551 positive cases have been admitted at COVID isolation centres in Lagos.
“Over the course of managing the COVID-19 pandemic, about 5,551 patients have been admitted into our various COVID-19 care centres in Lagos, with 506 registered fatalities. Of these deaths, 135 have sadly, happened in this current third wave.
“I commiserate with all residents who have lost loved ones to the pandemic. We share in your pain and grief. As a society and as a government, it is for us to redouble our efforts to defeat this devastating pandemic,” he said.
The governor said the state has seen a surge in severe cases, adding that the number of oxygen cylinders used rose from 75 per day to 400 within the third wave.
