According to the source, they were rushed to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku-Ozalla for treatment after the attack but were confirmed dead by the doctors on duty.
Meanwhile, another officer identified as Inspector Udeme Udomeng, only sustained bullet wounds and was treated and discharged.
