Gunmen, suspected to be pirates, have attacked two passenger boats on the Port Harcourt-Nembe sea route, killing three persons.
.
Though the Bayelsa State Police Command confirmed the killing of two persons in the attack, a top official from Nembe Local Government Area of the state, insisted that three persons were killed.
.
The pirates, it was learnt, struck last Sunday on Port Harcourt-Nembe sea, known as Kilometre 46, a border community between Rivers and Bayelsa states.
.
While the identity of the victims could not be immediately ascertained, a boat driver and some passengers sustained bullet injuries and. are now being treated at an undisclosed hospital in Yenagoa.
.
It was also learnt that another gang of pirates in a separate attack made away with N1.5million and an outboard engine belonging to a passenger travelling on the Nembe waterways.
All I just know is all this death news is not what we need right about now....We can really do better than that!
