Military Confirms Death Of Two Soldiers In Abonema, Rivers, Releases Statement by Asher79: 6:43pm On Mar 17, 2016
The Nigerian Army 2 Brigade based in Port Harcourt issued a statement confirming an attack and death of an army officer suspected to be a major and one soldier in an encounter with gunmen suspected to be sea pirates.

“About 11:00 am today Thursday 17 March 16, troops on Patrol in Abonema, Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State had a fierce encounter with a group of unknown gunmen suspected to be sea pirates. Our men displayed extraordinary gallantry," Captain Eli Lazarus, the Assistant Army Public Relations Officer of 2 Brigade said in the statement.

“Unfortunately, an officer and a soldier who sustained various degrees of injury during the encounter lost their lives. We are in pursuit of the criminals and we will surely get them. All law abiding citizens are urged to remain calm and advised to go about their lawful activities.

“The army will continue to make necessary sacrifices to ensure sustainable peace and security of lives and property of every one in the state,” Captain Eli Lazarus said.

rivers state election deserves the presence of soldiers in their large numbers ...

but the agatu massacre where more than 300 people including pregnant women and children where butchered did not deserve a single soldier

Let them keep sending soldiers to Rivers while Herdmen are having a field day in Benue. They want to win "oil producing State" by all means.

RIP to the soldiers.

If only our founding fathers had gone
their separate ways then there will be
nothing called Nigeria,so think,there is
something holding us together.
If only our leaders had been Leaders
but no they chose to be lenders
lending our treasury to their self.
If only every remittance from crude oil
from time immemorial had be used
wisely then our economy should be
better than Some mighty countries.
If only the money received from those
who commit corrupt practises where
used then Nigeria should be better no
money received also goes to
someone's account who would also
be accountable by a New Government
later in faraway future.
If only those who "Stole" our money
felt morose maybe those nursing the
ambition would have put an end to
the thoughts in their heart but No
those who carried out corrupt
practises are treated are given " VIP.
Treatment " in the prison .
If only Nigerians believe in Nigeria
maybe Nigeria would have been more
better but some Nigerians are already
tired of this association called
"N.I.G.E.R.I.A " and are ready to leave
to float their own Association whether
by force or peace.
If only our government had been
truthful and hadn't danced to the
gallery by providing "Honey-Sweet
Manifestoes" that aren't yet achievable
maybe if they had come out plain
Nigeria would have been better.
The "IFs" are so much that one keep
wondering,you hear that just one
Nigerian "Swallowed " billions then
you start thinking "Do they spend
Money in Heaven too?"
most of the population are living
below one dollar (present rate of
dollar to Naira).
May river Niger not leave the
Area,Nigeria will rise again!
from a Nigerian!

Mr. Buhari and his APC must desist from acts that can encourage the return of militancy through their utterances and actions. The oil money in Rivers State is not worth the blood of Rivers people.

If katsina State can be relocated to Rivers and vice versa they can go ahead tongue

In my opinion, deploying the Army to sort out internal security issues like that in Rivers and in Agatu....is not good security planning.

The Police should be the ones doing the job. Not the Army.

Anyway.....troops are being deployed....http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/199447-agatu-massacre-nigeria-deploys-troops-ban-cattle-villages-cities.html

The Nigerian government says it is preparing a legislation to prohibit pastoralists from allowing their cattle roam in villages and cities, following the massacre of hundreds in a farming community in Benue State by armed herdsmen.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, said Thursday that the government was working on measures to stop the invasion of communities by herdsmen.
Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, Mr. Ogbeh said that invasion and massacre of the indigenes by herdsmen was no longer acceptable to the government.
He said that a formation of the Nigerian Army had been deployed to the communities to restore peace.
“Yesterday, I spoke with the Ministers of Defence and Interior and they assured me that they have deployed a military formation in Enugu to move in and restore peace in Agatu.
