government area of Rivers state.
About 6 people have been reportedly killed
following renewed cult hostilities in Rivers
state.
The development is a set back to effort of
the newly appointed Caretaker Committee
Chairman, a renowned Lawyer, Osi Olisah
and the government’s Amnesty Programme
to restore peace in the volatile ONELGA.
Yesterday, notorious and heavily armed
group known as Squanta Force, one of the
groups which has refused to accept the
amnesty offer of the state government,
attacked a multinational company killing
three Civil Defence officers and left four
others with life-threatening bullet injuries.
According to Daily Post, the group, said to
be camped near an oil-well in the creek of
Obiafo in Ndoni part of ONELGA, and led by
one Ave-Boy engaged the helpless Civil
Defence officers who were caught napping.
A picture of a notice pasted on the wall of
the scene of the attack indicates that
Squanta Force are members of aggrieved
youths from ONELGA.
