Akogun Job Omotuwa stated this during a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, saying it is a great national tragedy.
He said: It has become imperative to lend his voice in condemning the event, which was uncalled for and an avoidable loss of lives of Nigerians on the side of the Nigerian military.
According to him, "There is no gainsaying that the gruesome and unprovoked murder of sixteen officers and men of the Nigerian army consisting of a Lieutenant Colonel, two majors, a captain, and twelve other men of the military by criminals in Okuama community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, is one of the worst things to have happened to our gallant soldiers in recent history."
“Let me at this point condole with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian Armed Forces, the families of these fallen heroes, and the good people of Nigeria over the callous and senseless murder of these officers who were said to be on their line of duty at Okuama."
Akogun Job Omotuwa said the group is supporting the military and other security agencies to get to the root cause of the matter and possibly bring the killers to face the law.
He, however, urged the military to remain focused and committed to its mandate of maintaining peace and security in the country.
