7 skulls, guns, other items discovered in militant camp – Military
The Nigerian Army has revealed its discovery of a collection of arms and seven decomposed human skulls, following the raid of a militant camp in Omoko, Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The spokesperson of the 6 Division in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu, made the revelation to journalists on Tuesday.

Col. Iliyasu said five men and two women were arrested during the raid of the camp.

He accused several militants and their leader, Don Wanny,who is on the run, of abducting and killing a number of innocent citizens in Rivers and Bayelsa states.

According to Iliyasu, the military recovered from the camp one General Purpose Machine Gun, two AK 47 rifles, three FN rifle magazines, 18 AK 47 magazines, 39 7.62mm Nato ammunition and 20 9mm ammunition.

Other items recovered include 7.62mm ammunition, five Icom and Mag hand-held radios, two 25kg bags of cannabis, nine pairs of military camouflage, 10 human skulls and several bones.

Iliyasu said: “On Monday, we received a tip-off and thereafter, troops raided the camp and shrines of a notorious militant, cultist, kidnapper and an ardent oil thief popularly known as Don Wanny. After about an hour of gun fight, our troops overpowered the criminal elements due to superior fire power that sent the criminals scampering for safety.”

He added that “It is believed that the main culprit, Don Wanny was not at the location during the encounter but efforts are on to track, arrest and bring him to justice,” he said.

Iliyasu appreciated residents in the area for supporting security operatives. He hence enjoined them to continually provide timely and vital information that would lead to the arrest of criminals in the state and its environs.
