SEA PIRATES KILL 2 IN BAYELSA STATE
Barely
72 hours after sea pirates attacked and killed three security personnel
in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, another group
of the pirates, operating in Brass Local Government Area have killed two
persons. According to investigations, the sea pirates, along the Brass
waterways, were said to have laid ambush at Okoroma community for the
commercial boats conveying passengers to various communities in the
area. An eyewitness account said the boat was close to the Obama flow
station when the sea pirates emerged from a nearby creek and asked all
the passengers to have their hands up and surrender all in their
possessions.
It
was gathered that after dispossessing the passengers of their
valuables, the pirates, while fleeing, began to shoot sporadically
thereby killing two of the passengers instantly while others sustained
various degrees of injuries. The eyewitness disclosed that the names of
those killed as Pale, a male from Akipelia in Ogbia Local Government
Area and one Doris, a female from Delta State. Member of the state House
of Assembly representing Brass constituency 2, Hon. Alfred Belemote,
while commenting on the incident on his facebook page, called for
security presence along the Brass waterways to curb the incessant
attacks from sea pirates.
