Nigerians react to soldiers' killing in Delta
@ontimesam
Your story lines is very fishing. It doesn't add up.
What would 2 Major and 1 LT colonel be doing there?
I think oil money or land grabbing
@phychem11
How were ordinary youth able to kill well-trained soldiers like this without incurring any losses as well? The whole incident is surprising
My condolences to their families.
@DrofComputing
May God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss

May God Rest The Dead
The Nigerian Army said they were on a Peace Mission in Okuama Community. Was there any War going on in Okuama that requires peacekeeping like in Mogadishu?
When has the Army turned to become Peace dispute makers?
When has the Army turned to become the Court or even the Police that should intervene in civil matters?
The Army should come clean on what took them to Okuama Community that made them go along with a Lt. Col and 3 Major Gens + other soldiers.
This your story isn't making sense to me and may other people.
@officiabishop
Our condolences to their various families. RIP
Killing of soldiers: Military occupies Delta community
Legit.ng earlier reported that soldiers deployed to Okuama community allegedly demolished houses in the community, sequel to the recent killing of troops of 181 Amphibious Batallion on a rescue mission to the riverside community.
Recall that the Nigerian military, on Sunday, March 17, deployed armoured vehicles to Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi council, over the killing of military personnel on a peace and rescue mission in the Okuama community.
The military personnel and no fewer than three armoured vehicles were seen zooming across the Bomadi bridge, probably heading to the creeks. President Bola Tinubu also ordered the military high command to fish out those who killed the officers.
