[@anthonyokeke8564]

[@linzicont1631]

Which police? They are collecting 20n from poor people on the streets. The military said they know, why set villages on fire, somebody is trying to hide something. In this country everyone is in love with palm oil, I mean everyone- from army navy Air Force, police efcc dss and all these people have big guns.

[@linzicont1631]

Please who select the military men that went on a village "peace talks " not country to country ooo. Are we under military rule? Who sent out this particular senior officers, or is this a private peace talks? After these nobody will interfere in military palm oil business again. Sad commentary 😢 😪

Nigeria is a creation of Britain signed to expire in 2014 as written in Amalgamation document which gives right to the various nations that makes up Nigeria to come together and decide if they want to continue together or split. Why are people not speaking this truth? But they want things to change for good when the holy book says, "Only truth sets free, not lies or denial".

This man is the only person on this issue that have asked the most valuable questions, that is, who invented the Military because Delta state government seem not to be aware of that mission, and how come such number of senior officers are going for peace keeping in a riveran community. Now the soldiers went in retaliation by commiting genocide against the people killing men women and children holding the elderly hostage nobody is looking at that.two wrongs can't make a right.

Thank you sir, Ugboho,for grave analysis.

[@ucheobiemeaobiekea6761]

Mr Ogbodo is right in saying that the Military cannot be judge in a matter or case in which it is wronged party. It can never be neutral. But this is Nigeria! Anything goes!

[@segineseju464]

Which kind peace mission

[@victorkpa]

I deep-heartedly commiserate with those who have paid the ultimate price for peace to reign in a community or state. However, my worry and concern is that how could the military personnel and professional be taken off-guard by civilians? Seventeen soldiers could not have been overpowered at ease, or so easily. I can't unravel this knot. I need an explanation.

[@gudemicheal8948]

Who ordered those soldiers to go on that assignment? Why did d soldiers go for an assignment d police should have gone for? Should d d Army be investigating a case were they claim to be a victim? What was d reason d military went there in d first place. I think when u want to get truth u should do things rightly,this goes to d Presidency.

[@dejilaoye3675]

This matter should not be swept under the bridge in name of setting up of panel, investigation or whatsoever. This dastard act,callous deed and unfortunate event bhas occurred,just must take it cause.

[@olayinkaadeleye3134]

Delta state is an oil producing state. Sustaining oil production is a national security issue. That is why the military is deployed across the Niger Delta.

[@jonathanogiemudia389]

Just say you don't know. You are probably not from Nigeria Delta. Those Army was not sent for peace keeping. They went there for the Army share.

[@sonofnok2153]

But then the people of that land Rose up against them, fierce and wild And with a cruel and bloody hand Cut short their lives, so brave and mild. Their families mourned, and their comrades wept For such a senseless, needless loss Their sacrifice so quickly swept Away, as if it were mere dross. But in our memories, they'll stay Forever honoured, brave and true Their lives were cut short on that fateful day A debt of gratitude we owe to you. We mourn your loss, dear soldiers all And pledge to keep your memory bright Never let your sacrifice fall Into the darkness of the night. May justice come to those who took Your lives so cruelly, without cause May they be held to account, and look Upon the harm, they did with a pause. Rest easy now, dear soldiers brave Your duty done, your watch now ended In our hearts, your memory engraved Your sacrifice is forever commended. Rest in Peace, my heroes! Lanre Daodu

[@JoseyBlackson-sr9gb]

Whoever that deployed our innocent Armed forces into a peaceful community to mediate between two neighbouring fishing communities, should be investigated thoroughly. Personally, I do not believe the narration fishing community village youths are responsible for the dastardly killings. The Nigerian Armed forces, should conduct an in house investigation into this gruesome mutilation operation, in the Niger Delta region. This fishing communities are victims of oil bunkers and should not be used as scapegoat for some highly placed criminal operation. The Nigerian Armed forces,should stop accusing innocent fishing communities for the dastardly killings. Some highly placed criminals are most likely responsible for the the mutilation operation.
