No less than six persons have been killed by unknown gunmen in two communities in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The gunmen invaded Kono-Boue and Gwara communities in separate attacks on Monday and killed three people from each of the communities.
Nwibakpo Golden, the spokesman of the Community Development Community of Kono-Boue said inhabitants have fled the area out of fear.
Golden, who expressed worries over the incident, made a case for the citing of a police divisional headquarters in the area and rehabilitation of the bad portion of the roads to effectively tackle the incessant attack by unknown gunmen.
He also claimed that the people that were killed were not “cultists” adding that “they were on a bike just coming back from a Thanksgiving when they were shot by the unknown gunmen”.
“We have been saying that the Governor of Rivers State came to that community and promised that there will be a police station. Secondly the road there is so bad the Governor came there and promised them the road. If they fix the road the police can always access it no matter the time,” he said.
When contacted the spokesperson of Rivers State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni, said he was yet to be briefed about the attack.
