This time around, the church attacked was the Assemblies of God Church in Oguta area of Onitsha, the commercial nerve centre of the state.
Available information had it that the policeman killed was one of those guarding the church.
He was said to be the only armed one among his colleagues.
His gun was taken away by the attackers.
An okay rider, who was close by when the attack took place, was also gunned down by the gunmen, who, some reported, were dressed as masquerades.
The spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, Nkiru Nwode, however, said the attack was on policemen who were on foot patrol along Oguta Road in Onitsha.
Nwode said the attackers were hoodlums who disguised themselves as masquerades to dispossess innocent citizens of their belongings and in the process killed a policeman and injured some others.
