Armed men suspected to be sea pirates Friday
night attacked a military checkpoint in Nembe, Bayelsa East senatorial district
killing four soldiers and a policeman.
The incident occurred at about 11.30pm at the
Nembe waterfront.
The hoodlums, believed to be in search of arms
and ammunition, according to a security source launched the attack on the
military checkpoint from land and water.
They reportedly stole rifles of the slain
operatives as well as HP Guns and ammunition from the base before disappearing
into the mangrove creek.
The authorities of the Joint Task Force and
the state police command confirmed the incident.
