This is to draw the attention of the government and people of Bayelsa state to an incident that happened at about 7.45pm on Saturday, 15th March 2025.
Labrador security outfit workers who were going for a crew change and food supplies to crew members on duty post were attacked by One Godbless Canus Ogun and his gang of sea pirates.
It is alleged that the gang of sea pirates are loyalists of one Amagbien, a wanted militant accused of being part of the killing of military men in the Okuama Community of Delta State.
Confirming the incident, the Community Development Committee (CDC) chairman of the community of Igbomotoru Community, Goodnews Manash, said the militant group was causing havoc along the Binikurukuru Creek.
According to him, one Mr. Ekerete Odoh, an indigene of Igbomotoru 1 community, was shot to death instantly at the spot of the incident while the speedboat driver, Likson Godspower, who hails from Ekowe community of Southern LGA, sustained a gunshot that cut one of his hands.
Manash further explained that the assailants went away with the 200 horsepower engine and boat belonging to Kojo Sam Logistics/Labrador Security outfit whose houseboat is situated by the pipeline of Lasukugbene/Baberegbene community of Igbomotoru West Bomo kingdom.
As of the time of filling this report, all efforts made to get confirmation from the Bayelsa state police command PPRO CSP Musa Mohammed proved abortive as he was yet to reply to a Whasap message sent to him.
