YENAGOA, Nigeria: Unknown gunmen killed two Nigerian policemen in the oil-producing Niger Delta, a police spokesman said on Tuesday, a day after five officers were shot dead in the restive region.
"The policemen were asleep and killed by some callous assailants," said a spokesman for police in Rivers state in the Delta.
A villager who gave her name as Sarah Ebikabowei said gunmen had killed three soldiers in Bayelsa state, which is also located in the Delta. A military spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.
