The Nation Newspaper Okuama killing: Troops will not rest until perpetrators are identified, says GOC
, Major General Jamal Abdussalam, has warned that troops will not rest until all those responsible for the murder of 17 officers and soldiers in Okuama community, Ughelli South local government, are apprehended and held accountable.
He said: “Troops will not rest until all those involved are tracked down to account for their deeds. Operation is being conducted in such a way that going forward, nobody would contemplate attacking men in uniform. False narratives being churned out, and propaganda peddled over this mindless criminality would not deter troops from fishing out the criminals.”
The GOC assured troops conducting operations would be firm, strong, decisive, and professional in the cause of the operations in the general area.Major General Abdussalam appealed to people and communities to assist troops regarding the location of the fleeing criminals and the carted-away weapons. “We appeal to people and communities to assist troops regarding the location of the fleeing criminals and the carted-away weapons. The Armed Forces of Nigeria is the symbol of our sovereignty, and the Commander-in-Chief, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu captured it succinctly when he said an attack on our Armed Forces is an attack on our nation. Therefore, if we allow criminals to continue to attack our security forces, there will be anarchy,” the GOC said.
