TOP MEDIA learnt that the incident which happened around 8 am on Friday, June 16, in Abana also left three oil workers injured.
Eye witnesses said the militants numbering five were on white garments.

This media platform reports that Biafrans are calling for a separate state of Biafra. They are also calling on the Nigerian government to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
