In a video making rounds on the internet, a young man is claiming to be one of the killers of the 16 soldiers attacked in Okwuma community while on peacekeeping mission over a communal clash between Okuama and Okoloba community in Bomadi and Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The young man, who failed to mention his name in the video, said two warring communities had a land dispute which led to a crisis.
However, he blamed the government and leaders for failing in their duties to call both communities for a peaceful resolution.
“This is the last video I will make over the fight between Okuama community and Okoloba community,” he said.
“The Ijaw people from Okuama community used army to carry three people from Okoloba community and killed them. The three people were all slaughtered.
“The 16 soldiers were killed when they came to take away our community leaders and the youths knew that when they take them (the community leaders) away, they will be powerless. That was the reason the 16 soldiers were attacked.
“My father was a retired army officer who died last year. I have lost six of my people to the fight between Okuama community and Okoloba community. The Federal Government can declare me wanted after making this video,” he added.
