Defence Chief Reveals Those Behind Massacre of Soldiers In Okuama Community

 

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa has identified those behind the killing of 17 soldiers in the Okuama community in Delta State.

 

Recall that 17 soldiers, including the Commanding Officer of 181 Amphibious Battalion, two majors, one captain, and 12 personnel of the battalion, were on March 14 killed by militants in Okuama.

 

He made this public on Arise News on Wednesday.

 

Musa said a certain “General” Endurance Amagbein is the main suspect in the soldiers’ killings in Okuama.

 

The CDS said the militant leader was the one who actually planned and executed the military officers and soldiers with his boys.

 

He said, “He is actually the mastermind. He is the one who actually planned and executed this with his boys. And you know they have a lot of issues of cultism within the general area. And again, like I always say, because they were making money illegally, they feel that they are above board, they have so much money that they can do whatever and they buy whoever it is that they can. 

 

Musa also appealed to Nigerians to not provide any support or logistics to the wanted suspects.

 

He said, “During the investigation if you find out that you are also part of it, the law will take its course on you.”
