A mysterious gunboat has crushed four policemen on patrol duty and officials of an oil surveillance company, Darlon Security Surveillance Services, to death between Okungbene and Odewari River close to Korokorosei junction in Southern Ijaw Local Government area of Bayelsa State.

Among the dead is the operations Manager of Darlon Oil Surveillance Company and younger brother of the former Gubernatorial Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Chief David Lyon identified as Odi Lyon.

NAIJA LIVE TV however gathered that though the identity of the killer gun boat may not be known but it may not be unconnected with the raging bloody clash between some suspected illegal refinery operators, the Darlon Security operatives and the Nigerian Military. Some others claim that the gunboat mistook the occupants of the boat for pirates disturbing the Area.

NAIJA LIVE TV also gathered that while another worker identified as Ogbojimo was lucky to have survived the unfortunate incident, one of the corpses of the killed police men has been recovered while the three others are still missing.

A source told NAIJA LIVE TV that the deceased policeman, whose body was recovered, was able to swim to the shore but died sadly before he could get to the clinic at Olugbobiri. The incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday around 1:30 AM.
