But instead of slowing down, the two motorbikes got ahead him and he got down to warn them. As soon as he got down one of suspects fired him from the bush because they saw that he was a Policeman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supt. Awenaba said the suspects run into a nearby bush adding that an eyewitness later reported the incident to the Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person who picked him sensed danger so he turned and came back to the Police to alert his colleagues to go to his aid.
