The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Sunday, condemned the killing of three officers and 12 soldiers by irate youths in Delta state. Primate Ayodele described the attack as a civilian coup against the military, adding that the situation was a wrong signal to Nigeria’s security system.
Sixteen soldiers who were on a mission to halt clashes between two communities in the southern state of Delta were murdered by warring community youths. The troops from the 181 Amphibious Battalion deployed in the Bomadi region, had responded to the conflict in the Okuoma community when they were killed on Thursday. Those killed include a Commanding Officer, two majors, one captain, and twelve soldiers from the 181 Amphibious Battalion.
The clergyman urged them not to take the situation for granted because it cannot be accepted, saying he was in support of the military avenging the death of the deceased soldiers ‘’I want the military to arrest these culprits and bring them to book. These people are not just civilians. This must not be taken for granted because if it goes without any arrest, it means Nigerians are not safe.
