VerseNews gathered that soldiers deployed to Okuama community have continued the demolition of houses in the community, sequel to the recent killing of troops of 181 Amphibious Batallion, on a rescue mission to the riverside community.

Recall that the Nigerian military, on Sunday, March 17, deployed armoured vehicles to Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi council, over the killing of military personnel on a peace and rescue mission in the Okuama community.

The military personnel and no fewer than three armoured vehicles were seen zooming across the Bomadi bridge, probably heading to the creeks. This is even as President Bola Tinubu ordered the military high command to fish out those who killed the officers.
