Gen. Unachukwu Ugochukwu, and top government officials.<\/p>\n<p>He assured of the safe return of the indigenes who fled the community in the wake of the crisis over the killing of 17 officers and soldiers on March 14.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to journalists at Okuama, Oborevwori said: \u201cWe have followed due process in the whole incident. The people have been buried and the king that was detained has been released Friday and I am here to see what happened in Okuama community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Okuama 17 is something that we didn\u2019t expect to happen because it is against our bargain for peace and security which I promised Deltans that we are going to enhance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been enjoying peace and security since last year until the 14th of March when the four Army officers and 13 soldiers were murdered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were not just murdered, their bodies were mutilated and we have come here to see what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me again reiterate Mr President\u2019s promise that no innocent person would be victimised and you can see that, from that time till now, there has been no harassment of citizens of this community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have come to see how the innocent people of this community can be reintegrated back with the cooperation of the Military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know it\u2019s a big loss to them but we have to follow due process. The Brigade Commander is with us and the newly posted Commander of 181 Battalion, Lt Col Dabo, is also here with us and its a great synergy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said his administration was doing a lot to effectively resolve the dispute, adding that citizens of Okuama would soon return home.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, the governor said: \u201cLet me once again thank Mr President and Commander in Chief, Bola Tinubu, the Chief of Army Staff and the Chief of Defence Staff for their cooperation so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have been very supportive and they have kept to their promise that innocent people will not be victimised. I want to assure the people of Okuama there is no point running away from your community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to bring you back to your community. It\u2019s only those that are involved the Military are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
