Fire engulfs Okuama community after Barbaric killing of Military Personnel

The coastal Community of Okuama in Delta State where troops of the Nigerian Army swere laughtered by youths have been razed by fire.

The community situated between Bomadi and Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, is engulfed by chaos and flames following the discovery of beheaded and mutilated bodies of 16 military personnel killed while on a peacekeeping mission.

According to Channels TV , some of the recovered corpses were said to have been beheaded, while the stomachs and hearts of others were ripped off.

Also, at the NDDC jetty in the coastal Delta community, the bodies of the commanding officer and the two killed majors were seen floating by the river bank as others were separated on land.

The spokesperson of Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, had disclosed in a statement on Saturday that the fallen personnel included a lieutenant colonel, two majors, one captain, and 12 soldiers. They were ambushed and killed by local youths on Thursday while responding to a distress call arising from a communal crisis between the Okuoma and Okoloba communities.

“The unfortunate incident occurred when the troops responded to a distress call after the communal crisis between the Okuoma and Okoloba communities both in Delta State,” stated Gusau. “The reinforcement team led by the Commanding officer was also attacked, leading to the death of the Commanding officer, two Majors, one Captain, and 12 Soldiers.”

The chief of defence staff (CDS), Christopher Musa, promptly ordered an immediate investigation into the incident to unravel the circumstances surrounding the ambush.

In a distressing video footage on social media, thick plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from several buildings within the community, accompanied by flames flickering in the distance. Amidst the chaos, ominous warnings could be heard in the background.
