For the second time in eight days, men
of the Rivers State Police Command stormed a rally by the Save Rivers
Movement and allegedly opened fire on the members of the movement, who
gathered in Bori, Khana Local Government of the state on Sunday.
It was learnt that though the rally was
billed to start by 2pm, fully armed policemen stormed the venue before
the commencement of the programme, but it was unclear what led to the
heavy shooting that followed the arrival of the security men.
Our correspondent learnt that scores of
people were injured but it could not be confirmed if anyone was killed
as of the time of filing this report.
On Sunday last week, policemen, who were
deployed in the SRM rally, allegedly shot Senator Magnus Abe with
rubber bullet on the chest at close range.
