Gunmen have attacked a security formation in Rivers state, leaving not less than 5 soldiers dead.

Channels Television reported that the gunmen on Monday morning, April 2,  attacked the camp at Abua, in Abua/Odual Local Government Area, killing the officers.

Though the Six Division of the Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt is yet to release an official statement, two top security personnel in Rivers State confirmed the attack and killings to the news channel.

It is coming barely 24 hours after gunmen killed some policemen, airforce personnel and customs officers at their patrol base in Isiokpo, the Headquarters of Ikwerre Local Government, which is along the Port Harcourt-Owerri road.
