At least 15 persons are being reported to have died after gunmen allegedly attacked residents of the Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to Punch, the gunmen raided the towns in the early hours of the New Year. Punch reports that they are suspected to be working for a former militant leader, Don Nwanee.
Twitter user and president of Niger Delta Development Advocates (NDDA)@mayubeks shared photos which she claimed are of victims of the massacre and wrote:
