Gunmen, on Wednesday, invaded Azikoro village in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, and killed four persons, including a pregnant woman and her husband.
The gunmen were said to have also attacked a church, set some buildings ablaze and vandalised some vehicles.
The state police command confirmed the incident but claimed that it was perpetrated by suspected cultists in reprisal. “Operatives of the Operation Puff Adder had earlier traced the hideout of the cultists to the bush, dislodged them and burnt their camp. It is believed that this is a reprisal by the suspected cultists.
