“He was going about his duty when some men riding on a motorcycle suddenly came and rained bullets on him,” the source said anonymously.

Government and security agencies must do something to arrest the situation”.

Also confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Sunday Abutu said police have commenced investigation into the murder.
