Yenagoa (Nigeria) (AFP) – The Nigerian military on Sunday said it had arrested six militants in the country’s oil-rich Niger Delta after suspected pirates killed four soldiers and a policeman in an attack on an army base in the region.
The army said its raid on the armed group’s camp was in response to Friday’s deadly attack, when gunmen in four speed boats stormed the Joint Task Force (JTF) base in Nembe in southern Bayelsa state, police had said.
Militants in the camp are thought to have been responsible for a separate attack on a community in Degema municipality in neighbouring Rivers state, army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Isa Ado said in a statement.
