This was contained in a joint statement made available to source signed by the President of Oluasiri Development Union, Deacon Gamage Difurotogu, and the President of Oluasiri Youth Federation, Kienworio Tanga.

The statement described the incident as "reckless and nefarious" the wanton invasion of Ben-Ama and Tengele-Ama by the Nigerian Military, which they said reportedly left four persons dead and several others critically wounded.
