The Defence Headquarters has released pictures of the 17 personnel killed by youths of Okuama community of Delta State
Recalled that Troops of Operation DELTA SAFE suffered a setback that resulted in loss of lifes of gallant personnel of the armed forces. These personnel were on a peace mission to Okuama Comunity of Delta State, when members of the community launched unprovoked attacks on the unsuspecting troops killing the Commanding Officer of 181 Amphibious Battalion, 2 Majors, 1 Capt and 12 personnel of the battalion.
The senseless and barbaric killings of these men is a tragedy. They were killed in a dehumanized and unspeakable manner.
