Unknown gunmen have attacked Omuobizu clan in Ibaa community, Emuoha Local Government area of Rivers State, leaving person killed in the process.

 

The unknown gunmen attack was said to have left the residents in fear of retaliation, as a similar attack took place of late.

 

Sources in the community disclosed the attack occurred on Saturday morning and it involved a disbanded vigilante group and a newly formed local security outfit in the area.

 

One of the sources said,” You know this disbanded vigilante group called OSPAC has been factionalised.

 

“Don’t forget that when the Enuoha local government chairman, Dr. Chidi Lloyd assumed office, he disbanded all vigilante groups in the area.

 

“He (Dr. Lloyd) later set up a new vigilante group called EMOVIS. What I don’t know is if the split of the disbanded OSPAC is linked to the attack on Saturday. But one person died.”

 

When contacted, acting spokesperson for Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
