It was gathered that the policeman was shot while in company of two persons in a car.
The victim was said to be escorting one of the occupants who had withdrawn some money from a bank.
According to an eyewitness identified as Chigozie Joshua, two of the robbers came out of their Toyota Corolla car and shot the policeman three times, before they removed the money from the car and escaped.
