Gunmen on Wednesday night invaded Azikoro village in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, killing four persons including a pregnant wife and her husband.
The ramping bandits were said to have also attacked a church and set some buildings ablaze as well as vandalised some vehicles.
The state Police Command confirmed the incident but claimed that it was perpetrated by suspected cultists in reprisal. “Operatives of operation Puff Adder had earlier traced the hideouts of the cultists in the bush, dislodged them and burnt their camp.
