Gunmen Lay Siege To Warri Waterways, Hijack Boats


ANXIETY mounted in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, yesterday, as unknown gunmen laid siege to the waterways, hijacking about four boats and their occupants.

However, the armed forces responded by deploying security agents to counter the gunmen. At press time, soldiers and navy personnel were jointly patrolling the waterways with gunboats, while the Delta Waterways Security Committee, DWSC, Warri, has also stepped into the matter.

A source said the attack was not unconnected with the rivalry between the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic groups over the political leadership of Warri North Local Government Area.

The Ijaw are allegedly accusing the Itsekiri of marginalising them in the area.

Nevertheless, a source told Vanguard: “It is some oil bunkerers that are behind it, they are setting the two ethnic groups against each other to enable them carry out their business unfettered.”

It was gathered that the Itsekiri ethnic group got wind of the planned attack and sent warning signals to its natives not to venture into the river.

King Solomon I: This makes me wonder... is there an unwritten jungle rule that says we must get our grievances addressed thru kidnapping? I am sure they have seen that kidnappers are accorded attention thats why they are increasingly indulging in the despicable act. We need a way out of this kidnapping trend cos its beginning to get on my last nerve!

Old boy, kidnapping is far better than suicide bombing o

Lack of security

when the leader is weak,even goats and chickens become lions.
