Suspected militants killed three soldiers and
carted away arms and ammunition in an
ambush in Nembe city, Nember Local
Government Area, Bayelsa State, on Monday,
August 8th.
The gunmen also made away with military
gunboats, after they sacked the operatives of the
JTF stationed at the checkpoint in the
waterways of the state.
Reports have it that the militants disguised as
mourners to deceive the security operatives
before unleashing several gunshots on the
unsuspecting officers, killing three instantly and
injuring several others, including civilians. Many
residents of the area are fleeing in fear of a
reprisal attack by the military.
“The attack was deadly and well planned.
Nobody had expected that such a thing would
happen at such time when the jetties were busy
with people preparing to go about their normal
business activities,” a resident told Thisday.
“I am sure even the soldiers did not expect such
incident to happen at that time. Some persons
who were already sailing out of Nembe said
they saw the gunmen but dismissed them as
mourners because they were dressed in white
robes”, he said.
Joint Task Force JTF confirmed the attack,
saying that gunmen believed to be militants at
10a.m , attacked 343 Artillery Regiment, a
detachment of Operation Delta Safe deployed to
Nembe Jetty in Bayelsa State. Acting
Coordinator for the Joint Media Campaign,
Centre, Lt Commander A Ahmed, said in a
statement,
“During the incidence, three soldiers lost their
lives. The Commander of Operation Delta Safe,
Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie, has consequently
deployed reinforcement to apprehend the
perpetrators of this heinous crime. It should be
noted that the attack by militants was as a
result of the ongoing operations of the JTF
aimed at flushing out all forms of criminality,
especially pipeline vandalism destruction of
illegal refinery within the region.” Also, Bayelsa State deputy governor, Rear Admiral John Jonah, (retd), who visited the scene commiserated with the families of the slain soldiers and assured the authorities of the JTF of the state government’s support towards apprehending their killers. Chairman, Brass Local Government Area of the state, Bello Bina, described the killing as totally unwarranted and disheartening. A statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Saint Mienpamo, said that such malicious act was only painting the state and indeed the region in bad light. “It is wicked for anybody to attack soldiers that are risking their lives to protect us. Such attacks are only sending a wrong signal to the rest of the world because they will continue to perceive us as a violent people. Of course you and I know the implication of this. “It is very difficult to see progress in a nation that is plagued with violence. Only peaceful nations make progress. So our youths must recognise this fact and refrain from violence,” These photos above were posted by Sabo Agnes on Facebook yesterday. She wrote: “Why human beings are so heartless, this people are out to serve their father’s land and protect law abiding citizen of this Nation. Why why why Nembe in BAYELSA STATE
