Two policemen have been reportedly killed by gunmen in Cross River State.

The gunmen, who attacked two check points in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State,  carted away their rifles after killing the policemen.

The attacks took place in the early hours of Wednesday at Ofatura and Onyadama in Obubra LGA.

Initial reports indicated that six policemen and a soldier manning another checkpoint lost their lives during the attacks.

However, the state Police Command confirmed the incident but debunked the casualty figure, saying two cops lost their lives, while a third one was injured.

According to the police Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Ugbo, “It is not six. It was two of our men that were shot and two guns taken away. One was injured. They tried to attack other divisions but they didn’t succeed. It was in Obubra that they succeeded.”
