The Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State where sixteen soldiers were killed have been razed. There are strong allegations that some angry soldiers may have perpetrated the act after their colleagues were killed.
Meanwhile, manhunt for the killers is still ongoing and some arrests have also been made by the soldiers led by the General Officer Commanding 6 division Nigerian Army, Major General Jamal Abdussalam.
Residents of the coastal community are said to have fled to neighboring Ughelli for fear of a reprisal by the soldiers who have been patrolling the creeks. (Channels TV, excluding headline)
