Two police officers have been killed at RicoGado, an animal feeds factory in Adamawa State, belonging to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The slain officers have been identified by their first names as deputy superintendent of police, Gbenga, and an assistant superintendent of police, Yohanna.
A gunman opened fire on them when they went to inspect a place for posting security operatives at RicoGado.
A police officer who did not want to be named said he believed the officers were set up.
“They went to RicoGado to inspect where to post men, and their armed guard requested to go somewhere; then suddenly someone opened fire on the officers,” he said.
Adamawa police spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroje, has confirmed the killings.
“Yes, I can confirm that two of our officers, DSP and ASP, have been killed, but as to who killed them, or where, I do not know as of now.
“Right now, we have their dead bodies and are waiting for the report as to how they were killed,” he said.
