The state Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, who also confirmed the incident, said more personnel have been deployed by the State Command to the area to prevent a repeat of the attack.

He noted that efforts were on to arrest the culprits and bring them to book.

The CP also said that the police were working with the management of Okomu Oil to perfect ways of making the environment safer for its staff at all times.

“Preliminary findings showed that the gunmen came from the creek in a neighbouring state, which I would not like to mention. The attack is shocking.
