President Bola Tinubu and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori met in response to the deaths of more than a dozen military soldiers in the state’s Okuoma town.
Remember that during a “peacekeeping mission” in the Okuoma hamlet, 17 military personnel—including a lieutenant colonel, two majors, one captain, and 12 soldiers—were slain.
The governor’s visit to the Presidential Villa may have been prompted by the incident, notwithstanding the government’s condemnation of it and its assurance that those responsible would face the full force of the law.
Following a meeting with the President behind closed doors, the governor gave a briefing to State House media, reassuring them that the situation is under control and that no more attacks will occur.
The governor said there are some things he cannot discuss in public, thus he declined to corroborate the report of purported military retaliation attacks and the number of victims.
He claimed that although he had met with the heads of security in Bomadi on Monday, he had not been able to meet with the affected people since the scene of the incident was entirely empty.
