Confirms 20 Youths Dead In Igbomotoru.
Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri has visited Igbomotoru
community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area after alleged military
invasion of the community in search of suspected killers of 17 military
personnel in Okuama, Delta State on March 14.
Diri’s visit came one month after the military invaded
the riverine community on March 17.
A minute silence was observed in honour of the slain
soldiers.
Addressing the leadership and cross section of the
community at Igbomotoru Town Hall, Diri condemned the brutal killing of the
soldiers, regretting that it was unfortunate that what happened in Delta State
was being felt by the people of the community.
He urged the military authorities to continue with
painstaking investigation to unveil the killers and their sponsors, adding that
all those involved must be brought to book to face the full wrath of the law.
