Explosives suspected to be dynamite on Friday rocked the residence of the impeached deputy governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Peremobowei Ebebi in Aleibiri, Ekeremor Local Government Area of the state, while his night guard, Doramugha Seibulu, was reportedly shot on the legs by suspected armed youths.

The incident, which happened at the early hour of the day, threw the entire riverine community into confusion, as people reportedly stayed glued to their beds.Suspected armed youths reportedly invaded the community in four double-engine speed boats, shooting sporadically into the air, and headed to the residence of the former deputy governor, where an attack was reportedly launched.Saturday Tribune gathered that substance suspected to be dynamite was thrown at his residence, destroying its frontage, while the night guards on duty jumped the fence to take cover inside the building.

The assailants trailed one of them to where he was hiding inside one of the rooms and shot him on his two legs.One of his relations, who preferred anonymity, said that at the initial stage they wanted to kill him before they later decided to cripple him for life.

The injured night guard is said to be receiving medical attention at Our Saviour Hospital, Bomadi, Delta State.Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Eguavoen Emokpai, said a detachment of police had been deployed to the community, as he called on the people to go about their businesses.

He said there was damage to the residence but could not confirm whether there was any casualty, as they were still awaiting reports from the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the area.“We have dispatched our men to the scene to take charge of the situation. From reports available to me, there was extensive damage to the residence,” Emokpae said.

Tensions have been high for months in Bayelsa due to a power tussle between Governor Timipre Sylva and Ebebi, who was impeached by the state legislature last month over allegations of corruption. Ebebi could not be reached as his mobile telephone line was not going through.

I was in Bayelsa recently and i can not but conclude thus:

All these in figthings and bikering are visible in the state capital

Bayelsans have not seen or smell what we can simply call dividends of democracy.

The state is far from development.

I do hope their leaders will fill their subjects hearts with happiness and dividends of democracy instead of filling their pockets with bounties.

God deliver Bayelsa from evil men i beggggg ohhhhhhhh.

This is what happens when you arm millitants to do your dirty work. They come back and turn the guns against you. One by one these politicians will be dealt with by the menace they created. Area boys, millitants and almajiri's will turn on them one day. They are the ones that will bring that revolution Nigerians are looking for. Although this might have been planned by his detractors, one day someone will get smart.

The level of under development in the Niger Delta area is primarily being caused by their political leaders. The money allocated to them is far more bigger than that of many Eastern States, but go and have a look at what some states are able to do with their lean resources (Enugu State for instance) . Tomorrow, some disgruntled persons will accuse the nation of not developing the Niger Delta, while some people are some where stealing the money meant for their development, and some will even say that their money is not missing as was the case when Alams was being charged for stealing, and I am sure the deposed deputy is being treated this way because he presided over the deposition of Alams. What is Governor Silva doing with all the money he gets every other time, if not hosting beauty shows and wasting money. God will punish all of you thieves who waste the wealth given to you on trust for the benefit of the defenseless, but you turn it into your private use. Shame on you.
