The Defence Headquarters says the troops of Operation DELTA SAFE on Tuesday in Bayelsa State raided the Pirates/Militants’ camp and Kidnappers’ hideouts, eliminating six criminals.
The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, upon arrival at the personal jetty of the suspect, troops met heavy resistance from harassing gunfire from pirates/militants in five boats that approached from adjoining creek. “Furthermore, three of the attacking boats were sunk while the occupants with various degrees of gunshot wounds escaped into the river.“Additionally, our troops took over the jetty and advanced to the objective area which was empty,” he said.
The coordinator further disclosed that troops also raided an identified hideout belonging to a notorious criminal/kidnapper and oil thief along Mbiama East-West Road.
