The attackers scaled his fence hoping that nobody was in the compound. They smashed the door and as they were about gaining access, an exchange of fire ensued, the gallant Police officer then used his handy AK47 riffle to welcome them.
He gunned down one instantly while the one escaped with bullet wounds. He was later found dead within in the morning.
