Undentified gunmen have attacked the residence of Eris Paul, a former ex-militant leader also known as Ogunbos, at his country home in Peremabiri Community in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, burning down his mansion.
CityNews Nigeria learnt the attack occurred in the early hours of Friday, Christmas Day.
It was learnt that armed men stormed the community in speed boats, shooting indiscriminately before setting buildings on fire.
It was learnt that Paul was able to escape without being injured or killed, though narrowly.
A source in the family said Paul (Ogunbos) was attending a burial in the community when the incident occurred.

Valuables worth millions of naira were burnt along with Paul’s home.
Confirming the incident, Butswat Ansimi, State Command Public Relations Officer, told SaharaReporters that though normalcy had been restored, several properties were damaged and no life was lost.
