The source said two of their policemen were killed by the hoodlums while the husband was matcheted.
Their driver was also shot by their assailants. He was rushed to an hospital where he is receiving treatment.
A family source said: “They released them around 11pm. One of their relations received a call from one of the victims to send the driver to come and pick them up at Ukpor where they dropped them off.
“We are traumatised. I flew back to Anambra last night. I thank God they are alive and back to their community.”
