Buba enjoined Nigerians especially residents of Delta state to assist the military with credible information that would lead to the arrest of eight persons allegedly responsible for the killing of seventeen soldiers in Okuama community in Delta State.

Buba said the military was determined to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous act in Okuama, adding, “it won’t repeat itself”.

He reiterated the commitment of the military to rescue all kidnapped and abducted victims in Nigeria, as he reeled out the successes of the troops at the various theaters of operations across the country in two weeks.
