Few days ago in a town, Okuoma community in Delta state experienced some unfortunate situations as some miscreants in the community reportedly murdered some soldiers which resulted to a reprisal attack from the soldiers, burning 🔥 down the community.
Below is the press release from Nigerian Milliary HQ :

As most Nigerians condemn the unnecessary murder of the soldiers….. They are also faulting the Soldiers for burning 🔥 down the houses of innocent citizens instead of investigating and arresting the criminals…. Why burn down the community?

BOMADI is in Bayelsa state and OKOLOBA in delta state.
The NA should stop all this politics and do a proper investigation about his team, how they got to kill 16 military personnel without taken any live of the civilians is still not clear to me.”

There is even more infuriating and unfortunate thing is how some APC supporters have taken in up to say unimaginable things against humanity.
In a disturbing turn of events, a call for extreme violence has emerged following the tragic killing of Nigerian soldiers during a peacekeeping mission in Delta State. The situation has escalated to a point where some individuals, including Sulaiman Pooja Adebayo, popularly known as POOJA, Bashir Ahmad, Adamu Hayatu, and Arewa Twitter Connect, and others are advocating for the destruction of the community involved in the incident and the indigenes living in it.
Go through all these unfortunate tweets…. You’d discover that they are all APC supporters…. You may be forced to ask… What really is happening in this country…. APC have succeeded in blocking the thinking capacity of some of its supporters…
Why on earth would same sets of humans say this?
