Four persons have been killed in the Abraka market area in
Asaba, the Delta State capital, following an attack by unknown assailants...
The
assailants, who invaded the Hausa/Fulani settlement at about midnight on Friday
at the market within the Asaba metropolis, killed three men, one woman and left
several others with injuries. Armed with guns, the suspected killers shot
sporadically into where the people were sleeping. The assailants also threw an
explosive device into their mosque at Cable Point, but a man picked up the bomb
and threw it into the River Niger before it could explode. Armed soldiers and
policemen chased the invaders away, then took the injured persons to the
hospital for treatment and deposited the corpses of the deceased at the
mortuary. The Delta State Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Zanna confirmed the
incident, but said no arrest has been made yet.
