RESIDENTS of Akai Effa, a suburb of Calabar are now deserting the area after four bodies of slain policemen were discovered early this morning in the area.
The police team, according to a source, acting on intelligence went to the area to accost some hoodlums suspected to be kidnappers around midnight but were gunned down by the suspected kidnappers.
When Vanguard visited the area, the bodies of the policemen had been removed but everywhere looked desolate as most residents had left while some simply locked their apartments for fear of police revenge.
