Gunmen on Monday have reportedly killed four and injured two soldiers in Abua, Abua/Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The soldiers were guarding a motorcade conveying oil workers operating in Omelema, when the gunmen strike.
When contacted, Rivers State Police Command’s Public Relation Officer, Nnmadi Omoni, said that he is aware of the incident but had no details.
The killing is coming barely 24 hours after gunmen suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), attacked security checkpoints in Omagwa and Isiokpo communities in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
The attack has led to the death of scores of security personnel, including soldiers, police and customs officers.
