Unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have killed a divisional police officer attached to the Agbarho police division in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

Spokesman of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident on Monday.

According to Edafe, the gunmen also shot at the DPO of Ololo-Ekpe division, wounding the DPO, who was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Edafe explained that the two DPOs were on an operation with several policemen when the hoodlums ambushed them and opened fire, and the police have already tracked them down and promised to arrest them.

The police spokesman also reported that security was breached in Onicha Olona, Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state, where youths set fire to structures and other property and went on rampage.

According to police, the violence broke out after community members were beaten to death by land grabbers who claimed to have forcefully obtained community land.

Some community leaders opposed the move, which eventually led to violence that claimed one life.

Edafe explained that three people were arrested in connection with this crime and are currently under investigation.
