According to investigations, the sea pirates, along the
Brass waterways, were said to have laid ambush at Okoroma community for
the commercial boats conveying passengers to various communities in the
area.
An eyewitness account said the boat was close to the
Obama flow station when the sea pirates emerged from a nearby creek and
asked all the passengers to have their hands up and surrender all in
their possessions.
It was gathered that after dispossessing the passengers of
their valuables, the pirates, while fleeing, began to shoot
sporadically thereby killing two of the passengers instantly while
others sustained various degrees of injuries.
The eyewitness disclosed that the names of those killed as
Pale, a male from Akipelia in Ogbia Local Government Area and one
Doris, a female from Delta State.
Member of the state House of Assembly representing Brass
constituency 2, Hon. Alfred Belemote, while commenting on the incident
on his facebook page, called for security presence along the Brass
waterways to curb the incessant attacks from sea pirates.
