At Least 50 Die in Battle With Ijaw Militants - Witnesses

At least 50 people died in a clash between government troops and Ijaw militants near the oil city of Port Harcourt in southeastern Nigeria at the end of last week, witnesses and a local human rights organisation said.

However, a military spokesman denied there had been any casualities when troops raided the nearby community of Ogbakiri before dawn on Friday.


The armed forces said they shot dead 17 pirates in an unrelated incident near Warri in the west of the oil-rich Niger Delta on Saturday.
