Gunmen Invade Checkpoint, Kill Soldier, Snatch Machine Gun by bappahman: 5:21pm On Mar 31, 2013 |
A gang of suspected kidnappers have invaded the military check point mounted by the Joint Task Force, JTF at Agidigbo junction on Okpai/Aboh road in Delta State, killing an armed solider and also snatch a machine gun, just as unknown assailants shot two brothers while asleep at Abbi. It was gathered that the armed gang who swooped on the soldiers opened fire while the soldiers retaliated and at the end of the fierce gun duel, one of the soldiers lost his life and his machine gun was taken away by the gunmen. One of the gunmen was fatally wounded in the process and arrested as he was unable to flee along with his colleagues. The entire area has been cordoned off while the soldiers were conducting frantic search for the fleeing gunmen and the possible recovery of their machine gun. A number of road blocks had been mounted and residents, ostensibly afraid of any form of manhandling chose to remain indoors. A resident who pleaded an anonymity told our reporter that “that area leading to the gas plant had been witnessing a lot of kidnap cases. In short, Kwale, Beneku and environs in Ndokwa West local government area of Delta are now under siege following the killing of a soldier at a military check point by gunmen”, he stated. Contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Famous Ajieh said he was yet to get details of the invasion of the military check point. However on the shooting of the two brothers, PPRO Ajieh said that “report from Abbi village stated that one Akadibo Sunday, male aged 42 was shot at the back dead while asleep at night while one Chukwunalu Sunday 27, of same address was also shot in the chest wounded by unidentified assailants while trying to ascertain what was happening to the deceased. He added that “detectives have visited the scene and moved the wounded to the hospital and corpse to morgue while preliminary investigations are on www.vanguardngr.com/2013/03/gunmen-invade-checkpoint-kill-soldier-snatch-machine-gun/ |

Invasion of a military checkpoint. Snatching of a machine gun. Killing of a soldier. Killing of two brothers while ASLEEP. Wide scale kidnapping in the East, South South and South West. Unabating Boko Haram attacks and explosions in the North. An explosion even today went off in Kano. The whole essence of a government is the protection of lives and properties. Any government that can't ensure this has failed. |
