In a shocking development, the Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State has reportedly come under attack by Nigerian soldiers. This unsettling incident has stirred considerable unrest in the region.
The attack follows the recent arrest of Okuama's community leaders by the Nigerian military. According to a source from the area, the soldiers entered Okuama through the neighboring Okoloba community early Monday morning. This move was preceded by surveillance conducted via drones the previous day.
The source described the scene as chaotic, saying, “Soldiers and some local youths have descended upon our community, shooting indiscriminately. They arrived on foot after docking their boats at Okoloba. Our small tents are being destroyed.”
Community in Crisis
The situation has thrown the community into turmoil. The source expressed frustration and fear, noting, “Everyone is panicked; I can’t even find my child. Why are we being subjected to this treatment?”
Questions and Uncertainty
There’s growing confusion and anger among the residents, who are questioning the motives behind the military’s actions. “Why are the soldiers aligning with our adversaries to attack us? Our leaders were taken away weeks ago, and now they’ve returned to devastate our community,” the source added.
As of now, the reasons behind this latest invasion remain unclear. The community is left grappling with uncertainty and distress as they seek answers.
