DAILY POST learnt that they beheaded one officer during the attack.<\/p>\n

The gunmen also attacked and killed one police personnel at a checkpoint point at Ogbakiri junction in the same local government.<\/p>\n

The attackers also destroyed the checkpoint of the recently relaunched C4i police formation located at the Emohua axis of the East west road in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

These attacks were carried out around 10pm on Friday, when the curfew declared by the Rivers state government had taken effect.<\/p>\n

A source, who confirmed the incident, said the gunmen started shooting from Aluu in Ikwerre local government area of the State before proceeding to their targets.<\/p>\n

The Rivers State police command was yet to make any comment on the matter as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

Rivers State had in recent times witnessed series of attacks on security formations in the State, leading to the declaration of the night curfew from 10pm to 6am daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
