A notorious militant leader, kidnapper and pirate, N.K, has allegedly killed members of Egbema Kingdom Peace Keepers collaborating with ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, creating tension in the area. Africa Update gathered from sources that the militant leader, laid ambush on the Benin River for Tompolo’s men, massacring six of them in Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State .
The atrocity forced the Joint Task Force, which suspended the siege to Egbema kingdom, following the attack and killing of some soldiers at a Military Base in Obodo, Warri South local government area, by militant leader and his boys, early July, to lock down the kingdom afresh. On Thursday, the army deployed about 12 gun boats looking for the militant leader.
The fleeing militant leader, who defied the pleas of Tompolo and Egbema leaders to stop his criminal activities went into hiding after killing the peace keepers . Previous visits to his camp to arrest him failed, as he got wind and fled with his boys. However, Tompolo deployed some of the peace keepers, during the week, with soldiers to visit his camp once again and clip his wings. He reportedly got wind of the plan and laid siege for them on the waterways where he killed six of the peace keepers.
