Black Marine, a militant group, parading as an arm wing of Biafra agitators, the Biafra National League (BnL) have reportedly claimed responsibility for the blowing up of two military gun boats early this morning.
The attack on the military Gunboats happened at Abana waterline community of Bakassi Peninsula. Abana is former headquarters of Bakassi.
It is not yet ascertained if the gun boats belong to Nigeria or Camerooon since both countries are still engaged in joint military patrols in the Gulf of Guinea.
A source close to the group who insisted on anonymity also indicated that a sailor and some oil workers were killed alongside the blasting of the gunboats which were parked near Abana.
It would be recalled that last week, a commander of the BnL was killed in his house in Idadeto area of Bakassi by Cameroonian forces, which act provoked the militant group.
