[SAHARAREPORTERS] A police checkpoint along the Abakaliki-Enugu Highway in Ebonyi State, southeast Nigeria was attacked by button men on Thursday.

The Ebonyi State Police Command confirmed to SaharaReporters on Thursday that a policeman was killed in the attack.

SaharaReporters gathered that the incident happened at the Ishieke Junction on the outskirts of Abakaliki, the state capital, where a police patrol van was also set on fire.

The spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Joshua Ukandu, who confirmed the attack to SaharaReporters said a policeman was fatally maimed.

He, however, added that nobody was kidnapped.

"Nobody was kidnapped, but unfortunately a policeman was fatally maimed. We are on the trail of the hoodlums," he said.
