Residents of Kono-Boue and Gwara communities in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State have abandoned their homes after gunmen killed at least six persons in the areas.
The natives are fleeing their homeland for fear of more attacks.
It was gathered that unknown gunmen killed three persons each in the two communities.
The rampaging gunmen invaded Gwara in the morning hours and reportedly shot three persons dead.
An anonymous community source stated that the gunmen invaded Kono-Boue later in the afternoon and shot three persons dead, forcing many natives to flee the community.
Public Relations Officer of the Community Development Committee (CDC) of Kono-Boue, Nwibakpo Golden, disclosed that three persons were killed in his community, while some natives fled the community.
Mr. Golden urged the government to site a Police Division in the community and rehabilitate the bad portions of the roads in the area, to effectively tackle the incessant attack by gunmen.
