Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The insecurity in Ogun State took a new twist on Wednesday evening as gunmen shot dead a policeman at Ibara Orile area of the state.<\/p>\n

After killing the policeman, the gunmen were said to have kidnapped another officer and three civilians.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST learnt that the two policemen had escorted a civil servant from the state Ministry of Agriculture and a couple to Ibara Orile.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the couple had asked the Ministry for an agricultural extension expert, as they were planning to establish a fish farm in the state.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent gathered that \u201cthe kidnappers stopped the vehicle, shot dead one of the policemen and abducted another policeman alongside the three persons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident to newsmen on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Oyeyemi disclosed that the team was ambushed by the gunmen, suspecting conspiracy from an insider.<\/p>\n

According to him, the police is on top of the matter and will ensure the perpetrators are brought to book, while promising to rescue the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way the thing happened, it\u2019s more or less like a conspiracy from an insider. The man was ambushed and his orderly was shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cA policeman was shot and killed, that means those people have murdered sleep and will not sleep again.<\/p>\n
