Three military JTF members kill in Bayelsa State

Three members of the Joint Task Force codenamed Operation Delta Safe, were allegedly killed on Monday morning in Nembe, a riverine area of Bayelsa State.

The officers came under attack at a checkpoint mounted by the Nembe waterway checkpoint by persons suspected to be militants.

Reports say the suspects who were in a gunboat were dressed in white, disguised as part of a group returning from a burial ceremony.

The militants opened fire on the officers and stole two gunboats belonging to the officers.
