Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has commiserated with the Delta Police Command and families of police officers killed by gunmen in Anambra.<\/p>\n

Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu briefed reporters on Saturday in Asaba, the capital.<\/p>\n

The officers were ambushed and killed around 1.30pm on Friday on Ihiala-Orlu Road en route Umuahia while on official duty.<\/p>\n

They were proceeding as an advanced team for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential rally in Abia.<\/p>\n

The late lnspectors, Lucky Aleh, Celestine Nwadiokwu and Jude Obuh were attached to the Explosives Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Unit in Government House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team veered off from the convoy and took another route different from where the convoy was taking,\u201d the commissioner said.<\/p>\n

Aniagwu explained that the state government delayed the announcement of the incident because efforts were being made to reach the families.<\/p>\n

The official said the recurring killings in the South-East region are not healthy for the country because the general elections are close.<\/p>\n

The Delta government urged security agencies to arrest the killers of the policemen as soon as possible and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n
