A community leader in Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State where military personnel were killed, has accused the Nigerian Army of mass killings in the area.
In 1999, the Army attacked Odi town in Bayelsa State after some soldiers were killed in the community. He said, “If it involves mass arrest, nobody will complain about it, but mass killings are currently ongoing in the community. A situation where soldiers will enter a community and open fire is a terrible thing.
Also, there were reports on Monday that soldiers deployed in Okuama resorted to burning houses as residents fled the community.
