A policeman was killed during an operation by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command operatives to stop an attempted kidnapping in Guto Village, a border community in the Bwari Area Council, on Thursday.
The armed men, numbering about 30, were said to have invaded the community and attempted to force their way into a residence.
A statement by the command spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said police operatives from the Bwari Division Surveillance Team and the IGP Special Intervention Squad were deployed to the area.
She said the attackers opened fire upon sighting the security teams, leading to a gun duel in which two of the suspects were killed while others escaped into nearby bushes. Punch
