No fewer than four persons have
been killed in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The suspected assailants, who
invaded an Hausa/Fulani settlement at about 10pm Friday night at the Abraka
market within the Asaba metropolis, killed three men, one woman and left
several others with injuries.
The suspected killers shot
sporadically as people slept and later threw bomb into a Mosque around an area
called Cable point.
Vanguard reports that a brave
Hausa man picked up the bomb and threw it into the river before it could
explode.
A source told the newspaper that
soldiers and policemen came to their rescue and chased the suspected invaders
away.
He said the security agents took
the injured persons to the hospital for treatment and deposited the corpse of
the deceased at the mortuary.
Following the face-off between
the Nigerian Army and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Police
in Delta state have heightened security in Asaba.
Operatives have been deployed to
areas like Okwe, a settlement for IPOB and other Biafra agitators.
The area is close to the River
Niger which is the boundary between Delta State and states in the South-East.
