Bloodbath at Nembe-Ogbia, as gunmen kill two soldiers

• Abduct two expatriates
Gunmen yesterday killed two soldiers attached to
the military task force, code-named ‘Operation
Pulo Shield’ and abducted two expatriates
workers with Setraco Construction Company,
during a shootout along the Ogbia-Nembe road in
Nembe Local Council area of Bayelsa State.
The incident, which threw road users and
passerby along the Opume Junction axis, and the
Bassanbiri/Ogbolomabiri axis of Nembe areas
into pandemonium, occurred at about 8am on
Tuesday morning.
Eyewitness account confirmed to our
correspondent, that the soldiers, attached to the
Setraco construction workers on site, were
attacked by gun-wielding men, in what looked
like an ambush.
Though no other life was lost in the gun battle,
some of the indigenes of Nembe kingdom, who
pass through the Yenagoa road, en-route Opume
road on daily basis, were caught in the early
morning fight between the gunmen and soldiers
A Hilux utility vehicle driver, identified as
Monday, who witnessed the scene, said “it was a
like a movie scene. The soldiers were shooting
and the armed men too were shooting. We later
saw blood everywhere when the soldiers removed
their blood-soaked colleagues and some
expatriates.”
Attempts to get confirmation from spokesman of
the Bayelsa Police Command, Asimin Butswat,
failed as his phone rang out, and replies were
not sent to different messages sent.
But coordinator of the joint media centre of the
security task force, Col. Isa Ado, denied
knowledge of the incident, stating in a terse text
message, “Not confirmed, as no such report was
at our disposal at the moment.”
