A riot policeman was shot dead on Friday by a gang of armed robbers as they attempted to escape after snatching a bag from a woman in the Fegge area of the commercial city.
A witness told Saturday PUNCH that the robbers who operated on two motorcycles sighted the policeman, who was on the road, and shot him dead.
The robbers also wounded five other people who were close to the scene of the incident, the witness said.
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Raphael Uzoigwe, said the incident was yet to be brought to his attention.
