The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday, said those involved in the killing of soldiers in Delta State may be foreigners.

Speaking on Tuesday during a debate on two merged motions by Senators Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, APC, Katsina Central, and Edeh Dafinone, APC, Delta Central, Akpabio opined that those who killed the soldiers may be mercenaries.

He said, “We are not at war. I don’t think they are from the Niger Delta. They may be mercenaries.”

The Senate, after that, ordered the probe into the killings to get more information on the remote and immediate cause of what it described as “a dastardly act.”

The Red Chamber further called on the Federal Government to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to book, just as it observed a minute silence in honour of those killed.



The Senate, however, rejected a prayer to observe a minute silence or to commiserate with the families of innocent civilians killed in the process, saying that their numbers are still unknown.

Recall that some armed men had on Thursday, March 14, attacked and killed 15 personnel of the Nigerian Army during a peace mission to Okuama Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

Very idiotic statement..

Okuoma villagers are now foreigners??

Anyway, the Military should smoke out the "foreigners" and their enablers and deal with them.

I suspect OPC as the mercenaries cos the way you guys were screaming for all the Urhobos in that community to be killed was just too demonic. Seems like a mass demon possession.

I was screaming for an investigation to be carried out but you guys drowned my voice. Just killed innocent people throwaway. Anyway karma is there and the scales of justice that runs this world must always be balanced.
