Gunmen unleash mayhem in Rivers state, kill five

At least, three people have been killed in a fresh violent attack at Omoku town in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State by some unknown gunmen.
This is coming barely a week after cultists and criminals voluntarily surrendered their arms to embrace the amnesty offer of the state Governor, Nyesom Wike.

DAILY POST gathered that unknown gunmen stormed the venue of a burial ceremony in white Hilux van shooting sporadically into the crowd.


An eyewitness who confirmed the incident mentioned Chukwukadibia Dike and Charley Innocent as names of the victims killed in the attack.

Our source who does not want his name mentioned said the third victim is yet to be identified.

He added that security has been beefed-up in the area.

He said, “They were about five of them. Heavily armed. I was on the other side of the place for burial when they landed in a white hilux truck and started shooting. We don’t know whether they have targets but they were shooting anyhow.”


Similarly, two people were shot dead at Bara-Ol-Bara community in Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Information has it that unknown gunmen invaded the community and shot dead their targets, leaving their bodies riddled with bullets.

The Nigerian Army has confirmed the attack in Tai LGA.
