It was almost unbelievable when unknown gunmen on Wednesday invaded a traffic control post and shot dead a police traffic personnel.  The gunmen trailed the traffic personnel from where he went to take cover from the rain and riddled him with bullets as he resumed duty.


The incident which occurred at the popular at Brass junction on the ever busy Aba –Owerri road was said to have thrown the area into pandemonium as passersby and shop owners fled to safety.

Sympathizers alerted a police patrol team that arrived the scene where they recovered an expended bullet shell.


Police sources said the deceased has been deposited at an undisclosed morgue in the city while investigations are ongoing.
