WARRI- SUSPECTED sea
pirates struck again in
Burutu Local
Government Area of
Delta Delta state,
robbing market women
of money and foodstuff,
over the weekend.

Sunday Vanguard
gathered that following
the incessant attacks in
recent months, the
Delta Waterways
Security Committee,
DWSC, Warri, was
already liaising with the
Burutu Local
Government Council
and security agencies to
checkmate the menace
of the hoodlums.

A source disclosed,
yesterday, “The sea
pirates attacked a boat
from Okwagbe, which
was carrying market
women and
dispossessed them of
foodstuff and money
running into millions of
naira.”

“The pirates trailed the
boat after closure of
market to a link creek,
they shot sporadically
into the air and took
every money that was in
the possession of the
traders.

“However, no one was
shot but the traders
were molested. The
Burutu vigilance group
went on a rescue
mission, but the pirates
had finished operation
and left before their
arrival, none of them
was arrested,” he
added.

He asserted, “As I speak
to you now, the
vigilance group is on red
alert to track down the
pirates, but the gunmen
are nowhere to be
found.”
