Suspected Pirates Kills Mother And Son In Delta State

Suspected pirates shot dead a woman and
her son at a fishing camp along Ekologbene
creek of Ayakoromo community, Burutu
Local Government Area of Delta State on
Monday night.




Hoodlums reportedly snuck into the fishing
camp on that fateful night to attack
sleeping residents.




The deceased was one
of those whose houses were invaded and
the hoodlums began to harass the mother.




Upset with the way his mother was being
treated, the son confronted the hoodlums
and a fight broke out, leading to them
getting shot.



The body of the victims
identified as Mrs. Anetorofa Morkor and her
son, Doutimi Asaba, were brought to the
community in a speed boat.




Sources at the community told blazegist.us
that the hoodlums invaded the camp in an
attempt to rob the fishermen and women,
but ended up killing the victims following a
brawl with one of them.




Giving details of
the incident, one of those fishing at the
camp said that the hoodlums came into the
camp and pointed a gun at her head while
shouting for her to hand over her
possessions.



She said: "While I was being frisked, others
went to an adjourning house where the
victims were sleeping.




Angered by the way
his mother was being manhandled, the son
engaged the hoodlums in a brawl, which
resulted to both of them being shot.”



An indigene of the community, Lokiri Preye,
said:

"When the news filtered into the
community that hoodlums were attacking a
fishing camp, the community mobilised to
the camp only to discover the remains of
both victims."
