SaharaReporters sources said George was killed today at the Bathus Field in the Borkiri area, old Port Harcourt
Soboma, 30, until his death led a cult gang known as the "Outlaws" and was a well-known commander of MEND. In 2007, a joint military operation claimed it had tracked and killed George but he later re-emerged and dispelled the rumors. George was one of the militant gang leaders to embrace Yar'adua's Amnesty in August 2009.
Our sources said George was shot beside another female hawker who later died in hospital. The gunmen who reportedly shot him took his body away. Police sources won't confirm his death since his body was nowhere to be found.
