About eleven persons were feared dead in Omoku,
headquarters of Ogba Egbema Ndoni local
government area of Rivers State, following a
shooting spree by gunmen who stormed the area
Friday night and yesterday afternoon.
Community sources told Sunday Vanguard that
the gunmen, who wore masks, shot
indiscriminately for several hours on Friday night,
adding that they later fled when men of the Joint
Task Force, JTF, engaged them in a shootout.
The gun were said to have regrouped, yesterday
afternoon, to continue the shooting at the market.
Sources feared the shooting may not be
unconnected with plans by some politicians to
hijack the collection of Permanent Voter Cards
which commenced in the area on Friday.
File: Port Harcourt during a recent crisis.
Among those killed, sources said, was a chieftain
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who was
simply identified as Godspower.
The Chairman of the local government area, Mr
Austin Ayamadu, who condemned the incident,
appealed to residents to remain calm, assuring
that security men had taken charge of the area.
Ayamadu said the gunmen went from one street
to the other shooting before security men swung
into action.
The Chairman, who could not confirm the death
toll, said some persons died in the incident.
“Unknown gunmen invaded Omoku and started by
killing an elder of the APC and some other people
were also killed. The figure I cannot immediately
say because of the security situation, but it is
more than five”, he said.
Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Ahmad Muhammad, who confirmed the
development, said it was a clash between rival
cult groups, stressing that security men were on
top of the situation.
