Gunmen have killed two police officers, burnt two patrol vehicles and destroyed security checkpoints in Emohua local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers state.
Governor Nyesom Wike had shut down all land borders and imposed curfew from 10pm to 6am to forestall attacks on security personnels and infrastructure in the state.
The gunmen first stormed and destroyed C4I checkpoint located after Choba bridge without killing any officer.
They then proceeded to Ogbakiri junction where they killed a police officer on duty.
The attackers were also said to have moved to Rumuji Police station where they killed another officer, beheading him and razing two patrol vehicles before escaping through Elele Alimini axis of the East West road.
It was learnt they operated without any challenge from security forces.
The hoodlums reportedly came in a Hilux van and wore two different security uniforms to deceive policemen on duty.
Rivers State Police Command is yet to issue a statement on the incident.
