Two persons, a soldier and a policeman, were killed when gunmen reportedly attacked a military checkpoint in Oton, a suburb of Sapele in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, Sunday.
Sources told Vanguard that both men were shot dead when the bandits attacked the military post at the entrance of the community through the river.
A security source, who craved anonymity, told Vanguard that the gunmen exchanged gunfire with the security men on the post “and another batch of soldiers that heard the gunshots moved in to help battle the intruders, as I speak, one soldier has been confirmed dead.”
