BREAKING: Gunmen Attack U.S. Embassy Convoy in Nigeria, Staffers Killed | |
2023-05-17 | |
[RedState] Gunmen attacked a convoy of U.S. embassy staffers in Nigeria Tuesday. Two staffers were shot to death, as were two policemen. The assailants opened fire on the convoy along a major road in Ogbaru local government area in Anambra State, one of the epicenters of separatist violence in the region, according to the police. "The hoodlums murdered two of the Police Mobile Force operatives and two staff of the Consulate, and set their bodies ablaze and their vehicles," said Tochukwu Ikenga, a police spokesman in Anambra. When they say "escaped with," they appear to mean "kidnapped," as Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) explained.
