A nine-year-old pupil of Gbaraun
Community Primary School in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State has been killed by pirates.
It was learnt that the bandits allegedly
shot the girl dead as they were operating along the waterways of the
community on Tuesday.
Our correspondent gathered that the
incident led to a protest in the community by the youth who later
apprehended one of the suspects.
The suspect was alleged to have facilitated the movement of the pirates into the area.
The gunmen were said to have moved into the community from Ikebiri area of the council.
Sources said the pirates shot
sporadically into the air while snatching a speedboat, adding that the
girl was shot when she allegedly peeped to know the reason for the
gunshots.
Very sad, I must say.
