An investigative journalist known for his reputation of digging out facts on unprecedented occasions has revealed that the Nigerian Army were not on a peace mission to Okuama community in Delta State as claimed by the authorities.

The journalist known by the pseudo name on X (formerly Twitter) as 99% OPPRESSED (@PIDOMNIGERIA) further alleged that the soldiers went to Okuama to deal with the people of the community.

"Nigerian Army @HQNigerianArmy stop pretending and lying to Nigerians just to garner sympathy to justify your actions at Okuama. You were not on a mission to make peace in that community before the attack on your personnel. You went there to deal with the people of the community, after an order from above. But unknown to you, militants from the community were prepared as well. This is not the first time you guys have attacked that community.

"As of this morning, the Nigerian Army has deployed 4 Hilux and trucks from Abuja with soldiers fully armed, heading to Okuama via Nasarawa state for reprisal.

"My advice to you is to stop being biased political tools of politicians in disputes. Secondly, go after those who killed your soldiers. Innocent people shouldn't suffer over the actions of a few. R.I.P. to the fallen soldiers. My condolence goes to their families," the Journalist posted on X.

The Journalist also claimed that the soldiers went to the community to forcefully arrest three High Chiefs, adding that the soldiers opened fire after the community resisted the arrest of their chiefs, injuring over 500 of them, and killing many - including old, women and children.

The Journalist further alleged that the slain soldiers were not killed in Okuama but inside Forcados River, very far away from the community.

CONVERSEER reports that 14 Military Personnel, including Commanding Officer, two Majors, one Captain and 12 Soldiers, were killed on 14 March 2024, following the aftermath of the communal crisis between the Okuama and Okoloba communities, both in Delta State.

The same journalist who said the reason Nigeria don't have internet is because the Houthis bombed a subsea cable in the Red Sea?

Investigative my foot

Why would soldiers go on peace making while police, dss,.civil defense and numerous other security agencies can do the job?! Even local community vigilance oufit would have settled it, everything na soja for dis country!!


Information gathered was that some mighty men in authority sent those military guys to go and bully some community people because of certain land dispute.

Peace mission or not why killing army officers? Army should hurry up and kill all criminals in that area immediately

You yourself should hurry up and go kill them yourself..

I thought as much but the killing can't be justified.

I doubt that you even believe the nonsense you wrote?

As usual, the first casualty is TRUTH!

Army on a peace mission deal.. how gullible can Nigerians be.. they must have gone there to intimidate people because of whatever illegal gains they benefit from that area. The rest you see after then was reactions n opposite forces complicit in the matter.

Ipob will never know peace

Soldiers taking side led to this crisis.

Don't mind the journalist.
What will you expect from a journalist who needs followers so that Elon musk can pay him on X(Twitter)?
He is just writing for business and not that he cares.

Please stop this! Why kill anyone in the first place? While no murder is justified, I think it has gotten to a stage where you killing the person that wants to kill you is the order of the day

This sounds plausible and closer to the truth.

There is no way a community will wake up one morning and take on soldiers without minding the repercussions that will come from that action.

I believe him.

There is something you don't know about the people from the South South, if a military man kills innocent people, they would target and killed that military man, why would the military killed unarmed civilians in the first place? That is a contravention of the Geneva convention of 1947.

To defend themselves from your Boko haram, Bandits and fulani herdsmen masquerading as soldiers
