An attempt by Niger Delta militants to attack Nigerian Troops on Friday at Efut Esighi, in Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River State, turned bloody when seven of the attackers were killed.
Troops of 2 Brigade of the Nigerian Army participating in "Operation CROCODILE SMILE", an operation aimed at curtailing the activities of militants in the Niger Delta region, have destroyed 74 illegal refineries in the last two days and dismantled camps used by suspected kidnappers and militants in Rivers and Bayelsa states.
