Hon. Abdullahi Bello who is currently a member representing Okene/Ogori-Magongo federal constituency at the National Assembly described the act as barbaric, senseless and capable of undermining the relative peace in the community.
Two policemen from the mobile units of the Okene division were attacked this morning by unknown gunmen while on duty.
The assailants opened fire on the officers, killing one instantly and leaving the other critically wounded. The wounded officer later gave up the ghost at the Okene general hospital.
Commenting on the sad development, Hon. Abdullahi Bello condemned the attack in strongest terms.
He said that "Killing of any kind and or kidnapping act(s) are not only condemnable but unacceptable conduct by me and I beseech upon Almighty God to assist us in overcoming all these painful episodes in our lives as Nigerians or Ebira Nation.
Since it is no longer news, the worsening insecurity in Ebiraland, the honourable member urged the people to be more vigilant and security conscious.
He called on the people to report suspicious persons and movement to the relevant authorities just as he commended the police for their recent breakthrough in curbing the spate of kidnappings in the community.
"I commend the Nigerian police for responding to our cry on the recent senseless kidnapping saga that was becoming a daily occurrence in our community and I wish to appeal to them to remain committed to fishing out the criminals from their hideouts till absolute orderliness is restored to our community.
