The officers were en route to Jibia town from their camp in Zandam village, Jibia Local Government Area, when they were attacked at approximately 6:00 AM.
The bandits, who seized five AK-47 rifles from the slain officers, left one officer critically injured and receiving treatment at Federal Teaching Hospital Katsina. The whereabouts of the injured officer remain unknown.
Despite attempts to reach the Katsina State Police Command for a statement, the phone of the spokesperson, PPRO Abubakar Sadiq, was unreachable, and a message sent to him has not received a response.
