After fear of reprisal attacks from the Army over the killing of 16 soldiers, last Thursday in the Okuama community of Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, the Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori on Tuesday briefed President Bola Tinubu on the development.
Briefing State House correspondents after meeting behind closed-doors with the President, the Governor said that the situation is under control, assuring that there will be no more further attacks.
The governor declined to confirm the report of reprisal attacks allegedly carried out by the military and the number of casualties, saying that being a security issue there are certain things that were confidential and not prudent to mention in the public.
He said that he met with the security heads in Bomadi on Monday but has been unable to meet with the community involved because the place of the incident is completely deserted.
