President Bola Tinubu has said the killers of men of the Nigerian Army in Beomadi council area of Delta State.

 

Ekwutosblog had earlier reported that sixteen men of the Nigerian Army, including the Lt. Col. AH Ali, Major Share, Major Obi and Captain Zakari, were ambushed by those identified as Okuama community youths, captured, killed and decapitated last Thursday, March 14. The officers had stormed the area to rescue a kidnapped youth, Mr Anthony Aboh, an indigene of neighbouring Okoloba community in Bomadi Local Government Area, who was abducted over the lingering land dispute between the two communities.

However, a Commanding Officer, two Majors, one Captain, and twelve soldiers sadly lost their lives in the gunbattle that ensued during the rescue. One civilian was also killed.

Reacting to the incident, President Tinubu, in a statement he personally signed and released on Sunday, March 17, said the gruesome attack and killing of the officers was a direct affront on the nation and that the perpetrators will not go unpunished.

 

His statement reads

‘’On Saturday morning, the Nigerian people and I woke up to the dreadful news of the unprovoked killing of our brave military personnel during a rescue mission in Okuama Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

 

The incident occurred on Thursday, March 14, 2024, when our troops, responding to a crisis between Okuama and Okoloba communities in Delta State, were ambushed. A Commanding Officer, two Majors, one Captain, and twelve soldiers sadly lost their lives. One civilian was also killed.

 

As the Commander-in-Chief, I join all well-meaning Nigerians and the men and women of our armed forces to mourn and express my profound grief over the needless death of our gallant soldiers.

 

I extend my profound condolences to the families of these fallen soldiers, their colleagues, and their loved ones. The military high command is already responding to this incident. The cowardly offenders responsible for this heinous crime will not go unpunished.

 

This incident, once again, demonstrates the dangers faced by our servicemen and women in the line of duty. I salute their heroism, courage, and uncommon grit and patriotism.

 

As a nation, we must constantly remember and honour all those who have paid the ultimate price to keep our nation safe, strong, and united. The officers and men who died in Okuama community have joined the pantheon of great men and women who gave their all, with honour, in the service of our fatherland.

 

Members of our armed forces are at the heart and core of our nationhood. Any attack on them is a direct attack on our nation. We will not accept this wicked act.

 

The Defence Headquarters and Chief of Defence Staff have been granted full authority to bring to justice anybody found to have been responsible for this unconscionable crime against the Nigerian people.

 

My government will not relent until we achieve peace and tranquillity in every part of Nigeria.

 

May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and keep members of our armed forces safe.”

A shocking family drama unfolded when a man discovered that the three children he had raised for six years were not biologically his.

The truth came to light just weeks before Thanksgiving, leaving the man devastated and struggling to process the betrayal.

In a post shared by @amebogist on Instagram, it was reported that he asked the woman and her children to leave while he processed the revelation.

But his family, believing the children shouldn’t be punished for their mother’s actions, invited them to the holiday gathering without consulting him.

When the woman and her children arrived, the man became visibly upset, witnesses say he rushed to the front door, blocking their entry, and told his family he wasn’t ready to see them so soon after learning the truth.

The woman reportedly pleaded with him, saying, “Mistake happens,” asking for forgiveness and understanding.

Despite her pleas, the man stood firm, and she eventually left with the children to avoid making the situation worse.

The incident has sparked heated debate online. Some defended the man, arguing he had every right to protect his emotional well-being. Others said the children shouldn’t suffer for their mother’s betrayal.
