YENAGOA—The riverine settlement of Olugbobiri in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, was yesterday, invaded by unknown gunmen, who attacked the country home of ex-militant leader, Mr. Africa Ukpariasa.

A section of Ukpariasa country home, it was learnt, was being used as a base by BAJERO, an outfit owned by ex-militant which was recently awarded surveillance job by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to secure pipelines in the mangrove swamp of central Niger Delta. Policemen were at the premises when the gunmen struck, which led to a fierce gunfight.

Four policemen and a gateman sustained serious injuries in the attack and are currently hospitalized.

Three of the injured policemen, said to be in critical condition have been transferred to Port Harcourt, while the fourth policeman and the gateman are on admission at an undisclosed hospital in Yenagoa.

The attack on the home of the ex-militant, which came few hours after the twin bomb blasts that rocked Bayelsa State capital on Friday, was launched at about 1.am according to a source in the riverine community.

Though the motive for the invasion could not be immediately ascertained but informed sources told Vanguard that the gunmen may have attacked the home of the ex-militant leader believing it was stashed with money.

Dynamites were said to have been used to rip apart the bullet proof doors by the invaders, who ransacked the entire building.
Sources within the community told Vanguard that the armed gunmen stormed the community in three double engine speed boats at about 1am, when the entire community had retired to bed.

Re: Gunmen Attack Ex-militant Country Home In Bayelsa by DanKan0: 8:14pm On Jan 23, 2012
Boko Haram lol
Re: Gunmen Attack Ex-militant Country Home In Bayelsa by Wallie(m): 8:51pm On Jan 23, 2012
It could be Boko Haram but I doubt it as the creek was involved because that would mean that they’re comfortable navigating the water and also comfortable in the water! Hausa people that predominately live on desert attacking on water? Next to impossible!

It is more likely to be business gone bad, flexing of muscle to establish dominance, or thieves trying to steal his money.

Police guarding the house of an ex-militant? No wonder there is not enough policemen to tackle BH.
