More revelations have emerged over the killing of 16 soldiers in Okuama community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State by some alleged youths.
The latest revelation by one of the youths who presumably fought with the military alleged that the soldiers were not on a peacekeeping mission in Okuama, adding that they were fighting in favour of Niger Delta warlord, Tompolo.
'Those soldiers were not in Okuama for peacekeeping, they were fighting in favour of Tompolo who ordered them to do so.' However, the Nigerian Army had said the troops of the 181 Amphibious Battalion were on a peaceful and mediatory mission after a reported case of a communal clash between Okuama and Okoloba communities in Ughelli South and Bomadi Local Government Areas of Delta State, erupted.
