Three mobile Police escorts were yesterday shot dead by heavily armed gunmen at the Okoro-Nu-Odo flyover in Port Harcourt.
Sources say the officers were in a van accompanying a man in a Jeep when the gunmen dressed in military camouflage in a Sienna car opened fire on them and whisked the man away.
It was gathered that the officers who died on the spot, were later taken away from the scene.
The suspected kidnappers shot sporadically in the air as passers-by and motorists scampered for safety.
The Police was yet to react to the incident.
