Unidentified gunmen have again attacked Okomu Oil Palm Company in Edo State killing one of the workers.
It was gathered that the recent attack on the company’s plantation followed a similar attack on February 1, 2022, which resulted in 90 hectares of the company’s rubber plantation and three excavators burnt by the assailants.
Two suspects were arrested by police operatives over the attacks.
According to Vanguard, the gunmen seemingly angered by the arrest of two of their supposed members, carried out a further attack on innocent workers on the Okomu Oil Palm Company’s property to avenge the arrest of their accomplices.
A source said the arrested suspects confessed to the theft of rubber captured by the Marine Police on a boat after it had left the Okomu Ijaw Community on its way to Delta State the day before.
