The Joint Military Force deployed to protect
oil facilities in the Niger Delta on Tuesday
confirmed that three soldiers were killed in a
gun duel with pirates and militants. Col. Isa
Ado, Spokesman of the force, codenamed,
``Operation Pulo Shield', told newsmen in a
telephone interview that the incident occurred
on Monday night.
Ado said that the shooting took place in
Foropa, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area
of Bayelsa, where troops had been stationed
since 2010. He said that the military patrol
team was attacked by a combined team of
suspected militants and sea pirates, but that
the team fought gallantly to ward off the
attack.
``The location came under fierce attack and
three of our soldiers, who were hit by bullets,
died on their way to the hospital. ``There were
so many casualties on the side of the
militants, but we cannot precisely know the
number.
``The morale of the troops remains high and
the sacrifices of these soldiers shall never be
in vain; we remain resolute in our
determination to stamp out oil theft and
illegalities in the Niger Delta region. ``These
soldiers gave their lives for peace in the Niger
Delta," Ado said.
A building collapsed at the early hours of Sunday at about 3am at Egbu road just opposite the police station at Fire Service in Owerri. According to reports about 6 people were rescued alive while about 4 people are feared dead. I have videos of were dead bodies are been pulled out. The governor came around to inspect the Collapsed Building and he directed that the old building beside it with a green roof should be demolished also because it's owned by same owner of the Collapsed Building since that same building has already been marked by OCDA as a building dat wud also collapsed soon. From what I saw, the materials used in constructing the building wasn't upto to standard. No chippings rather it was local stones that was used. It was also reported that the building was suppose to be 2 storey but was but out of Greed it was made 3 storey. My name is Kelly Bobor incase u want further information.
