Unknown gunmen coming from the neighboring Ekiti State axis have reportedly shot two policemen to death at a checkpoint in Kabba, headquarters of Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The incident, according to an eyewitness, happened at the Origa checkpoint along Kabba-Iyara road, at about 5 pm on Monday.
