Bareley one month after an ambush on a convoy of 50 policemen on escort duty, gunmen suspected to be ex-militants have reportedly killed eight persons in Lorbia community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Council Area. That is the same Bayelsa community where 12 policemen lost their lives on April 6.
It was another black weekend in the creeks of Bayelsa State as eight persons were killed in a deadly attack launched by
suspected militants.
Though the circumstances surrounding the attack were hazy, among those killed were five ex-militant youths that embraced amnesty under the leadership of Pastor Reuben Wilson popularly known as General Wilson.
Also killed was Pastor Reuben’s 37-year-old younger brother, identified as Judah Benaebi Wilson and two others.
It was gathered that the armed attack occurred on Saturday night at the Lobia waterside.
The slain youths, it was learnt, were tricked into the creek and shot dead.
