Maj. Gen. J H Abdusallam, the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, has vowed that the Nigerian Army will continue to conduct operations in Okuama community, Ughelli South LGA, Delta State, until its equipment and arms, which were allegedly carted away by hoodlums, are recovered.
“We will continue to conduct operations until our equipment and arms that were carted away are recovered,” the GOC stated to press on Tuesday.
He recalls with regret how servicemen were mercilessly slaughtered in the Okuama village in March 2024.
Abdusallam rejected claims that the Army had raided the Okuama neighbourhood on Monday.
According to Abdusallam:
“This is Nigeria. I don’t understand when you say Nigerian Army invaded a place. When Nigeria Army go to operations in a place it is called operations. Why do you say it’s invasion?
“If we are conducting normal military operations in other places, it’s normal military operation not invasion. So it’s normal military operation that the military went to conduct in Okuama not invasion.”
