Nigeria: JTF, Militants Clash in Bonny

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Port Harcourt-The Joint Military Taskforce (JTF) said two of its personnel were wounded in a clash with suspected militants.

A spokesman for the task force in Warri in Delta State, Col. Rabe Abubakar, said in an on-line statement in Port Harcourt that the clash took place at Bregede, Bonny Local Government Area, Rivers, on April 29 at 6 p.m.

He said the militants came in five speed boats, while men of the task force were on patrol.

“Though the attack was eminently repelled, two of our men were wounded in action while the so-called armed miscreants sustained heavy casualties. Those who managed to escape did so with gun shot wounds of various degrees,” he said

Abubakar said the latest attack would not push the force to carry out a full fledged onslaught on the militants’ locations in the communities as they were just few in number.

“We will take appropriate action at appropriate time,” he said.

The JTF spokesman said the task force destroyed two barges used by illegal bunkerers at Soku gas plant in Rivers.

Abubakar also said the task force arrested a suspect when it uncovered some illegal bunkering spot at Ubikodo Itsekiri in Delta State on April 28.

He said the bunkerers fled on sighting the troops, adding that one of them was arrested .

He said: “Items recovered from the bunkerers include 15 drums filled with AGO, 1450-litre containers of AGO, one pumping machine, two outboard engines, three fibre speed boats and one Jetta car,” he said.
