Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has met with President Bola Tinubu over the killing of over a dozen military personnel in Okuoma Community in Bomadi Local Government Area.
Recall that 17 military personnel comprising a lieutenant colonel, two majors, one captain, and 12 soldiers were killed while on a “peacekeeping mission” in Okuoma community.
While the Delta state and federal governments have condemned the incident while promising that perpetrators would face the wrath of the law, the visit of the State Governor to the presidency may have been spurred by the incident.
Briefing State House correspondents after meeting behind closed-doors with the President, the governor said that the situation is under control, assuring that there will be no more further attacks.
The governor declined to confirm the report of reprisal attacks allegedly carried out by the military and the number of casualties, saying that being a security issue there are certain things he cannot say in the public.
He said that he met with the security heads in Bomadi on Monday but has been unable to meet with the community involved because the place of the incident is completely deserted.
