Seven Policemen have been killed, and many civilians injured, when gunmen opened fire on them, in Abuja, on Monday night.
The Policemen were on stop-and-search duty operation, at Galadimawa roundabout, a suburb, in Abuja.
A resident of the community, who preferred anonymity, said that the alleged armed men were stopped for search by the Policemen, when they opened fire on the Policemen, which led to the death of seven, while one was seriously injured.
The gun battle led to many pedestrians and traders around the roundabout to run for safety, while many sustained various degrees of injuries.
He stated that this led to the deployment of more Policemen to the community, which is close to the ever busy Airport Road.
It would be recalled, that the people of Galadimawa have been complaining of lack of security, which is leading to constant armed robbery in the area.
The Police in Abuja, confirmed the incident, and they are working to bring the suspects to book.
