Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A separatist group, Biafra Nations League (BnL), has reportedly attacked five oil workers who were heading to work on Saturday morning in Abana, the former headquarters of Bakassi.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the pro-Biafra militants also set ablaze the boat belonging to the workers but could not confirm if there was any casualty.<\/p>\n

It was, however, learnt that Nigerian security operatives were able to intercept the militants around the Ikang-Cameroon border area of Bakassi, Cross River State, hours after fleeing from the Cameroon-controlled side.<\/p>\n

Reports said the militants were lucky to escape arrest by the Nigerian operatives.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, Cameroonian forces had invaded the militants\u2019 camp but could not arrest any of them.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian military could not readily confirm the incident.<\/p>\n
