The Nigerian Ministry Of Defence Headquarters, otherwise known as the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has dropped a cryptic message following the killing of 16 army personnel in a Delta Community.

The victims, belonging to the 181 Amphibious Battalion of the Nigerian Army, were killed in the Okuoma community in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

The slain officers were responding to a distress call to quel a communal clash between Okuama and Okoloba communities.

The deceased consisted of a Commanding Officer, two Majors, one Captain, and 12 soldiers.

In a post on its social media account on Sunday, March 17, 2024, the DHQ shared a message that seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"The Audacity," the post simply read with a dark love emoji.

At face value, the message may be considered harmless, but some citizens have expressed worries given the history of the military in reacting to similar incidents.

Meanwhile, Army said some suspects have been arrested in connection with the killings.

Also, 14 bodies of the slain army personnel have been recovered from the Delta community in the early hours of Saturday.

Some of the recovered bodies were said to have been severed, with some beheaded while others had their stomachs and hearts ripped off.

The bodies of a Commanding Officer and two majors were seen floating by the river bank at the NDDC jetty in the coastal Delta community as others were separated on land.

Pulse reported that the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, has ordered a probe into the tragic incident to unmask the culprits.

God1000:
But delta youths really had the audacity to massacre soldiers on peace mission.

This is why people should not tolerate and support criminals in their domain, they will later turn to monsters and bring unimaginable disaster to all and sundry

HarryGleb:
When will the army revenge over the killings of their colleagues in the north or are they afraid of northerners?

rinzaugustine:
People who cut more than 20 soldiers like suya are definitely prepared for anything that will come out

jkpbestseries:
A friend of mine from the north told me how they used to attack soldiers in the north without the soldiers knowing who is involved. But this two communities will collect

People who cut more than 20 soldiers like suya are definitely prepared for anything that will come out. There are a lot of gun factories there and many youths there don’t have any job there so many armed. The last time they did arms mop up was during the amnesty program under Jonathan. They willingly surrendered because Jonathan is their own and used oronto Douglas and co to make them surrender arms. The number of youths carrying arms today there is now even more than when Jonathan brought peace then. Mobile and other multi nationals saw there was no hope and left, shell waited and saw who was announced as winner and packed their bags too… Imagine yourself as a Nigerian soldier in a 100 battalion of other’s soldiers walk into an ambush in the creek of 250 boys armed with guns. Do you think you are coming out alive that day? No you will witness your own death hours before you die

Zooposki:
Fools. They will get buried in that oil they are looking for. No audacity for Boko Haram and Fulani Terrorists? Fools everywhere. They only have power in the South. Fools. Foooolllliiissshhh Fffffoooollllssss.

Putindbutt:
Go to the north, turn to bandit and go stay in the bush, let if tucano will not drop bomb on your head.

Cindypresh:
Their dicks only rise when they hear "south"...bunch of cowards.


I wonder when the army started settling land dispute between two communities in this country.

There's something they're not telling us
