Five wounded gunmen and a nurse treating them have been killed in mysterious circumstances at Oyigbo Local Government Area, Rivers State.

It was earlier gathered that a tactical team of the Nigerian Police carried out the operation that killed the suspected gunmen, but the police have denied involvement.


The victims were reportedly being treated by the nurse, identified simply as Chichi, in a hidden area of Oyigbo when unidentified gunmen surrounded the building and opened fire on them.

It was gathered that sensing danger, one of them on drip attempted to escape by scaling the fence but unknown to him, the area had been surrounded by the gunmen, who shot him dead.

The gunmen subsequently gained access to the building and killed three others receiving treatments and the nurse.

The victims were said to be among the gunmen, who recently murdered seven policemen in surprised and coordinated attacks on security formations along the East-West Road and Elimgbu Police Station.

A security source, who spoke in confidence, said the bandits were trying to get medical treatments for multiple bullet wounds inflicted on them by the police when luck ran out on them.

He said: “Remember that recently gunmen, disguised as security operatives killed seven policemen when they attacked their formations along the East-West Road and the Elimgbu Police Station.

“During that attack, the police at Elimgbu engaged them in a gun battle. They sustained injuries and even abandoned their Hilux van. Those who were wounded ran to their hideout at Irebe side in Oyigbo and hired one Uchechi, a nurse, to treat them.

“They were tracked to their hideout. Three of them were already on drip. Sensing danger, one of the gunmen scaled the fence but was gunned down by the unknown gunmen.

“I can tell you that they are IPOB members. Five registration booklets of IPOB, many charms and some arms were recovered from them. You need to see their body, which was previously riddled by bullets. Though the bullets may not kill them because of their charms, the effects and the injuries will still show”.

But the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Friday Eboka, when contacted, said the people who carried out the act were not policemen.

Eboka said before the District Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the area and his men could get to the scene, the killers had concluded their mission and fled.

He noted that policemen, who rushed to the scene, only saw the five dead bodies and later recovered many charms.

He said: “That matter was reported at Oyibo Police Station. The people involved are not policemen. We heard that four of them were taking treatment in a clinic before the unknown armed men went there with two Hilux vans and a Sienna.

“They went there and people heard gunshots. Before police could get there, the gunmen entered their vehicle and drove away. The policemen met dead bodies of the four guys and the young woman (nurse). I told the DPO to move those dead bodies while we investigate the matter.

“But, obviously, they are not policemen. If there must be an operation by police, it must be reported at the nearest Police Station. The people that carried out the act are not policemen. It was unknown armed men and not policemen.

“The people they killed were actually receiving treatment of their gun wounds. When the DPO got there, they recovered the receipt of their treatment. They recovered charms. They were receiving treatment for gun wounds. The people that killed them are not policemen,” he said.
