Militants in two speed boats (Monday) stormed Esuk Atu, a fishing community in Calabar and caused mayhem by killing a fisherman and burning the operations vehicle of the Civil Defense Corps.
The militants who stormed the place at about 8am in two speed boats shot sporadically at everyone on sight and a fisherman, Ikot Ufot from Akwa Ibom State who was working on his net at the beach was hit in the head and died shortly at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital where he was rushed to.
Mr. Asuquo, an operations officer with the Marine Unit of the Cross River State Anti-Deforestation Committee told CrossRiverWatch that his men intercepted a large wooden boat on Sunday night laden with 550 logs of timber on its way to Akwa Ibom State and had to confiscate the boat and wood.
