An eyewitness had the following to say regarding the tense situation in Ogoni:

"Since yesterday I arrived in Bori from PH, I have not closed my eyes to sleep. Massive shooting between men of the Nigerian Army and some well armed restive youths loyal to an ex-militant leader popularly known as SOLO. The campaign office of senator magnus Abe was set ablaze. It is believed here that the senator is the one instigating the military against SOLO.

"Some other people were reportedly killed in Yeghe community by the army, but that I can’t confirm. But Bori became very restive today as the men of the Nigerian Army started shooting sporadically, aiming directly at innocent people. The information we heard is that the armed youth killed some military personnel last night, so the army was out for revenge.

"This young okada man was shot death by men of the Nigerian Army with two other women who later died in the hospital. Right now, Bori is a ghost land, everyone is indoor. The worst is that the men of the Nigerian Army that are supposed to protect the people from this armed criminals are the ones killing the people."
