A traffic warden, who was on his duty post regulating traffic at Etta Agbo Street, Calabar, Cross River State capital has been shot to death.

An eyewitness, who would not want his name mentioned, said that the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday.

“The traffic warden was conducting traffic in the area close to the University of Calabar small gate when he was shot,” he said.
