Unknown gunmen have raided Bunu community in Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State, killing an unspecified number of persons while carting away the dead bodies.
The incident which happened around 2 am on Saturday forced residents of the community to move en-mass to neighbouring towns and communities.
Justin Wabah, Youth Leader of the Community said they woke up to heavy gunshots in “our community. Opposite Bunu-Taagu Road by the Songhai, we discovered a thick pool of blood on the roadside where a motorcycle was burnt.
“The volume of blood suggested some persons may have been killed and the corpses were taken away. We searched the surrounding bushes but could not find anybody. Some residents ran into the bush without light in that thick darkness in fear, sustaining injuries in the process.
“We have been experiencing much killings here and there and it is not giving us a good face. We need a security patrol. Koroma Police Division has no patrol vehicle. We need regular police presence on this our road because this is not the first time we have recorded this very act.”
