Six persons, including four Naval
ratings attached to an oil servicing company, are feared dead in Bayelsa
State following a surprise attack by suspected militants.
The incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday at the Nembe creeks in Nembe Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that a senior employee of
the oil servicing firm and his wife, identified simply as Mercy, were
among persons reportedly gunned down by the gunmen.
While Mercy was said to have been killed
on the spot, sources said the whereabouts of the ratings and the oil
worker were unknown after the incident.
A security source, who spoken on
condition of anonymity, described the attack as deadly, saying the
gunmen took their victims by surprise.
He said the attack occurred at one of
the wellheads that supply crude oil to the Nembe Flow Station which
formerly belonged to the Shell Petroleum Development Company.
