 There’II be Injurious Consequences for Killing Military Personnel, Says Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters 


We shall deal with the culprits involved in the killing of Army personnel



Taking advantage of the full authority granted it on Sunday by President Bola Tinubu to go after killers of its men, the military high command, on Monday, has declared that there would be measured but injurious response to the killing of military personnel in Okuama, Delta State, last Thursday.


The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) stated this in a statement by Director, Defence Media Operations (DDMO), Maj-Gen. Edward Buba.


DHQ also released the names and pictures of the 16 army personnel killed by suspected irate youths on Thursday at Okuama.


Ministers of Defence, Badaru Abubakar and Bello Matawalle, while condemning the killing, said the federal government would not tolerate any threat to the country’s security and sovereignty. They said the perpetrators must be brought to justice.


Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, said there was no hiding place for the killers of the military personnel.


The senate said Tinubu’s reaction to the murder of the military men was in order, and endorsed it.


Interestingly, operatives of the Joint Task Force (JTF) on the trail of killers of the military personnel, on Monday, denied Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State and journalists access to Okuama community, when he visited to get first-hand information on the incident. 

 The Defense HeadQuarters directed that no stone should be left unturned until the perpetrators of this gruesome acts are apprehended to face the full wrath of the law.


“Troops are determined to get to these criminals, there is certainly no hiding place for them.”
