The police said in a statement on Saturday that Inspector Egbon and members of his team were attacked with guns and other dangerous weapons by unknown hoodlums who emerged from the bush at lyetse quarters, Auchi, while the policemen were enforcing COVID-19 curfew, as imposed by the Federal Government of Nigeria from 8pm to 6am.
The inspector was shot in the neck and rushed to General Hospital, Auchi where he died, the police said.
The commissioner appealed to the traditional rulers, village heads and youth leaders as well, to assist in providing information that may lead to the exposure of those responsible for the inspector's death.
