Breaking: Four die as soldiers, gunmen engage in gun duel at ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s house
Unknown gunmen killed a soldier on guard duty at the courtyard of former President Goodluck Jonathan situated close to the bank of the river at Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government Area, Bayelsa State.
According to The Nation, about three of the gunmen were killed by the soldiers, who foiled their attempt to break into the house.
One of the sources, who spoke in confidence, said the gunmen came through the river on five speedboats and opened fire on the soldiers.
“Armed men who came in about five boats attacked the home of former President Jonathan,” The Nation quoted an unnamed source as saying.
“A security personal attached to the former president was killed and about three of the gunmen were shot dead”.
An Ogbia youth leader, who spoke in confidence, described the attack on Jonathan’s house as disturbing.
He, however, said soldiers, whose checkpoint was located at the waterside, quelled the attack but unfortunately one of them died in the process.
