The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) can confirm that there was a bloody confrontation at about 0030 Hrs today, June 10, 2010 between our fighters and men of the military Joint Task Force (JTF) after one of our patrols ran into two gunboats of the JTF at Ogulagha in Delta state.
A firefight ensued which lasted about 30 minutes.
None of our fighters were injured but reports reaching us indicate the JTF lost 4 soldiers with an unspecified number injured.
