StreetNews reported that 16 Nigerian soldiers were killed in an attack in Delta State. This followed a statement by the Nigerian Army through the spokesperson, Tukur Gusau, saying the military would investigate and bring the culprits to book.
According to recent report from the community, the Okuama coastal community where the killing of the soldiers took place was razed Sunday morning.
It is not clear who razed the houses in the community or if anyone died from it but the report states that residents have fled to the neighbouring Ughelli community for fear of reprisals by soldiers.
