You know we went to Ahoada West today, an eyewitness said. At some point near Akinima, a group of heavily armed youths stopped us as we were traveling to Mbiama, the location of the border between the states of Rivers and Bayelsa. Before you knew it, they began firing, and the majority of us ran for cover.
