George reportedly escaped multiple arrests and assassination attempts before being killed on August 24, 2010, in Port Harcourt.
Until his death, Soboma led The Outlaws, a cult gang, and was a notorious commander of MEND.
In 2007, a joint military operation claimed to have tracked and killed George, but these claims proved to be rumors. George was one of the militant gang leaders to embrace Yar'adua's amnesty in August 2009.
In events leading up to his death, George allegedly ordered Fiofori and two other men to assasinate Ebebi, former Deputy Governor of Bayelsa. Fiofori & others reportedly killed George instead of Ebebi. Emmanuel Gladstone & Dobra
were arrested in connection with George's death.

Three Truly weird Historical Events That Actually Happened, You don't know about.
A thread👇
1. Robert Liston, a surgeon in the 1800s, performed an operation with a 300% mortality rate : Instead of saving the patient, he killed three people.
Liston was renowned for being one of the fastest surgeons alive, which at the time was a very good thing. Anesthesia as we know it didn't exist, so patients were awake for the entire procedure, meaning the shorter it was, the better.
Liston was performing a leg amputation,
but worked so fast that he accidentally cut off two fingers on his assistant's hand. Both the patient and the assistant died later of gangrene, most likely due to the saw being unclean.
