Unknown gunmen in Enugu State has reportedly killed four people who are yet to be identified at the time of this report.

They were killed at a checkpoint in the outskirts of the city, Inside Enugu Blog gathered.

This was coming about forty-eight hours after four policemen were killed in the Enugu capital.

Reports say the gunmen, who operated in Sienna and Lexus Jeep, stormed the checkpoint at Obeagu in Enugu South Local Government Area, killing at least four.

Police authorities are yet to speak on the latest attack.

The killing of security operatives has become commonplace in the South East of Nigeria, where Police personnel have been reported to mount checkpoints and extort commuters.

Aside from attacks on security personnel, police and other agencies formations have been targeted by assailants.

While many claim the attacks are masterminded by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the group leading calls for the secession of the region, the organisation has vehemently denied responsibility for the incidents, labelling the claims as false.
