Troops of the Nigerian army have allegedly stormed Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State and shot at members of the community.
This is coming weeks after Okuama community leaders were arrested by Nigerian soldiers.
A source from the community told Vanguard that the soldiers entered through Okoloba community early Monday morning, after using drones to monitor the community on Sunday.
According to the source, “As I speak, soldiers and some youths have stormed our community, shooting at anything in sight. They parked their boats at Okoloba and came on foot. The small tents we have built are being razed.
“Everyone is in disarray; I can’t find my child; why are we being treated in this manner?
“Why will soldiers team up with our enemies to attack us? Our leaders were arrested weeks ago, and now they have come to sack the community,” he said.
However, the cause of the latest invasion is still unknown.
