Delta Killings: Troops Occupy Okuama, Raze More Buildings

Soldiers deployed to Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State have continued razing more houses in the community, following last weekend’s killing of several military men on rescue mission to the riverine community.

A community source, who spoke to journalists, said the military are currently occupying Okuama and that several houses had either been razed or demolished.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian military, yesterday, deployed armoured vehicles to Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi council, over the killing of military perconnel on peace and rescue mission in Okuama community.

This is even as President Bola Tinubu ordered the military high command to fish out those who killed the military officers.

The state Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has condemned the killing of the officers and soldiers, describing it as despicable and alien to the culture of Delta people.

On its part, the Pan- Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, led by Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, said the act is totally unacceptable and must be fully investigated
