Maureen Chinaka, the Abia police spokesperson, said two of the gunmen were killed by operatives.
She identified the three deceased victims as Chika Godliveth, Onyenaturuchi Jonah, and Eniobong Godsgift Clement.
“Today, July 21, 2024, at about 1128hrs, police operatives attached to the rapid response squad, Aba, while on patrol along Ngwa Road/Mosque Junction, Aba, were attacked by armed men in an ash-colour Sienna vehicle,” the statement reads.
