Ijaw Community Writes Tinubu Over Delta Killings

Okoloba community in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta state has refuted counter reports that its youths were responsible for the cruel massacre of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army reportedly deployed to engender peace in Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of the State.

You will recall that 17 officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army and several civilians were cruelly felled last Thursday during a reported peace mission to Okuama over a disputed piece of land with Okoloba community.

In a petition addressed to President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the National Security Adviser and authorities of the Nigerian Armed Forces, among others, the Chairman, Okoloba Federated Community, Mr Clement Koki, described as misleading narratives that Ijaw youths killed the soldiers.

However, Okuama community, whose youths were believed to have carried out the dastardly act, has also refuted claims that it was responsible for the killings of troops of the Nigerian Army
