Unknown gunmen on Friday attacked the Gbaramatu Traditional Council's speed boat on official duty.
The gunmen dispossessed the boats occupants of their money and other personal effects along the Batan Creeks in Warri South-West Local Government Area.
The speed boat was conveying two respected Gbaramatu chiefs detailed to execute an official assignment when the gunmen, numbering about six, with sophisticated weapons hijacked the speed boat and sailed to an isolated area in the mangrove where occupants were robbed of their belongings with their eyes closed.
They dropped the occupants at another mangrove forest and made away with the speed boat leaving them stranded.
It took the intervention of a commercial speed boat plying the route from Warri to get those at the palace of the Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Oporoza informed of the incident. Meanwhile, another boat was sent to ferry the victims back home.
