The
attack on the soldiers is coming less than a month after four marine policemen
suffered similar fate in the hands of a gang of suspected militants who have
been holding sway along the river between Abigborodo and Arouwun communities in
Warri North and Sapele local government areas respectively.
According
to Vanguard, a source from the Department of State Security, DSS, disclosed
that the two military personnel died at the spot while the civilian driver of
the boat they were traveling on, is currently receiving medical attention at an
undisclosed hospital after sustaining gunshot wounds on the head.
The
source said: “On sighting the boat of the suspected militants close to a spot
near the Shell Jetty, the operatives drove there to ascertain the identity of
the occupants only for the hoodlums to open fire on them at close range while
the driver escaped with gunshot wounds.”
Contact
couldn’t made as all inquiries to the Joint Task Force headquarters JTF
spokesperson, Maj. Abubakar Abdullahi, were fruitless as at press time.
