The Nigerian Army has reached an agreement with Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, to withdraw military personnel from the troubled Okuama community in Ughelli South local government area.
This decision, announced in a press release by Governor Oborevwori, comes after discussions with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja.
The withdrawal is effective immediately. The community had been under military siege following the tragic killing of 17 soldiers, including high-ranking officers, on March 14.
Governor Oborevwori expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Nigerian Army hierarchy for their understanding and cooperation in resolving the crisis peacefully.
He also thanked members of the National Assembly, traditional rulers, and other leaders for their support during this challenging time.
Governor Oborevwori reassured the people of Okuama of the Delta State Government’s commitment to assisting them in returning to their homes and rebuilding their lives.
