The Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State lies in ruins following the devastating aftermath of an attack that claimed the lives of sixteen soldiers.
Reports suggest that tensions escalated as allegations emerged linking some enraged soldiers to the destruction, purportedly in retaliation for the loss of their comrades.
Efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice intensify as a manhunt continues, with the soldiers, under the leadership of Major General Jamal Abdussalam, making several arrests in connection to the incident.
Fleeing for safety, residents of the coastal community sought refuge in neighboring Ughelli amidst fears of potential reprisals by the patrolling soldiers in the creeks.
