At least three policemen lost their lives when a van they were patrolling in crashed along Kubwa-Zuba Expressway, opposite Gwarinpa Estate in Abuja.

According to a source, the police van veered off the road and entered a drainage where the three officers died instantly, leaving others with serious injuries.
