Two officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have
been killed by gunmen who attacked a vehicle transporting them.
A total of 26 officers travelling from Sokoto and Kebbi
commands were heading for the corps academy in Enugu state when the incident
occurred around Mararaban-Udege in Nasarawa state on Monday.
In a statement, Bisi Kazeem, FRSC spokesman, said while one
officer died during the attack, the other died at a hospital.
Kazeem said four officers sustained wounds, eight escaped
unhurt and that 10 are unaccounted for “as they were allegedly kidnapped by the
assailants”.
“Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, has immediately reported
the incident to relevant authorities for prompt rescue of the kidnapped staff
while investigations to ensure that the assailants are brought to book is
ongoing,” he said.
“The Corps Marshal has called on all staff of the corps not
to be deterred by this unfortunate incident.”
Kazeem said the corps will work with the relevant
authorities to ensure that the gunmen are brought to justice and the missing
officers found.
