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, however made reference to his visit to Bomadi and meeting with the security heads in Bomadi on Monday, maintaining that he has been unable to meet with the community involved because the place of the incident is completely deserted.
Recall that 17 military personnel comprising a lieutenant colonel, two majors, one captain, and 12 soldiers were killed while on a “peacekeeping mission”in Okuama 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.
