Gunmen Kill Four Soldiers, Kidnap Two Expatriates In Rivers

Gunmen have shot four soldiers and two drivers dead as they ambushed a convoy of Daewoo workers along the Ahoada/Abua East-West axis in Rivers State.

The gunmen also reportedly kidnapped two expatriates of the company.

It was gathered that the victims were on their way to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, when they were ambushed.

A source said the miscreants trailed the expatriate workers who were being escorted by soldiers along the Ahoada-Obua Road and opened fire on them.

Meanwhile, a community source claimed that the attack may be a reprisal following a recent military operation that took place in the area where arms and ammunition were seized.

The Nigerian Army, 6th Division, confirmed the attack and the killing of the soldiers.

In a statement, the acting Deputy Director 6, Division Army Public Relations, Major Jonah Danjuma said the troops were men of the 5th Battalion.
