The Nigerian Army has started an investigation into the attack on former President Goodluck Jonathan’s home in Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
TheGiant understands that the attack took place on Tuesday with a soldier dead and some persons allegedly injured, also.
According to the spokesman for Operation Delta Safe, Major Jonah Unuakhalu, some gunmen attacked a military gunboat deployed near Jonathan’s house in the afternoon while the soldiers were on duty.
Unuakhalu said the troops, however, repelled the attack as some of the assailants escaped with gunshot wounds.
“However, during the attack, one soldier paid the supreme price and another wounded in action,” the statement said.
He added that the wounded soldier has been evacuated to the hospital and responding to treatment.
