A soldier on guard duty at the courtyard of former President Goodluck Jonathan situated close to the bank of the river at Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government Area, Bayelsa State was killed by unknown gunmen last night.
Multiple sources said about three of the gunmen were killed by the soldiers, who foiled their attempt to break into the house.
According to the The Nation newspaper, the gunmen came through the river on five speedboats and opened fire on the soldiers.
“A security personal attached to the former president was killed and about three of the gunmen were shot dead”.
An Ogbia youth leader, who spoke in confidence, described the attack on Jonathan’s house as disturbing.
He, however, said soldiers, whose checkpoint was located at the waterside, quelled the attack but unfortunately one of them died in the process.
