Protests erupted at the Biogbolo area of Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, on Saturday, over the death of a 27 year-old-man, Goodluck Oviekeme, who was arrested alongside eight others following an alleged attack on a policeman and theft of his service rifle. The Truth had earlier reported that the Police, in a statement, alleged that the deceased was arrested on Tuesday in connection with an alleged armed robbery incident that occurred at Biogbolo area when hoodlums attacked the Police Patrol team, fatally injured Inspector Ugbotor Sunday and carted away his rifle.
