The Delta Command of the Nigeria Police Force has confirmed an attack on a mosque in Ughelli by unknown button men in the early hours of Friday. The police said 11 worshippers were maimed during the attack. Gunmen were reported to have stormed the Central Mosque, located along Okoroda street in Ughelli at about 6:47 am on Friday and attacked the Moslem faithful praying there. Confirming the attack to journalists, the Command's front man, DSP Bright Edafe, said 11 persons were maimed. He, however, could not confirm accounts that three worshippers were kidnapped. Edafe said, "I just called the DPO at Ughelli and he confirmed to me that 11 persons were maimed in the attack at the mosque. "However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the police have commenced an investigation into the incident, and we will update you as we work to unravel the culprits." "For now, no arrest has been made, but I can assure you that we will get those involved," he said. |
