The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the attack but did not give the number of casualties.
Mr Ndukwe said: “Police operatives have been duly deployed and are on the trail of the unknown armed assailants.
“You will be updated with further development, please,” he said.
Some of the tricycle operators plying the road, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that armed hoodlums came in a Sienna car and Lexus Jeep and opened fire on the unsuspecting policemen on duty.
