The incident according to sources happened around 7 and 8 pm on Friday night at the popular Ebebe junction.
Tribune Online also gathered that many other people within the area also sustained different degrees of gunshot injuries as the gunmen shot sporadically.
A source said: “Yesterday night, I was on night duty so, many people were brought to the Accident and Emergency Unit and it was confirmed that two persons had died before getting to the hospital but others with bullet injuries are receiving treatment. They are many. I couldn’t count them.”
When contacted, the state Commander of Ebubeagu, Friday Nnanna, confirmed the attack.
According to him, the two personnel killed at the checkpoint were men of Ebubeagu dsecurity outfit who were on duty.
His words: “Gunmen opened fire on Ebubeagu and shot two of my men at Ebebe junction. You know there is a market in that junction so because they open fire rapidly, so many were shot. Many people may be killed or injured in their houses because they shot sporadically in the area.”
