Unknown gunmen on Monday stormed a church at Omoku in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA in Rivers state and opened fire on worshipers just emerging from a service.

According to reports,15 people died from the incident while over 52 were injured. A Man, his wife, five children and eight others lost their lives.

The rampaging gunmen were suspected to be militants working for a man the military described as “a notorious kidnapper, militant, cultist, ardent illegal oil bunkerer”, Mr. Igwedibia Johnson, aka Don Waney, who is on the run, following the raid of his camp and shrines on November 20, last year, as part of 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt’s continued efforts to rid the Niger Delta of criminals.
