FORMER Spokesman of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the South East East and the current Chairman of Forum of former members of Enugu State House of Assembly (FOF-MENHA, Dr. Josef ONOH
has advised the Okuama Community in Delta State to provide the suspects who killed soldiers that were on peace mission in the community within 24 hours.
Onoh said that the suspects were not militants but well-known members of the community, and no such atrocious cruel assassinations of our brave and gallant officers could have been carried out without the active participation of the entire community.
By implication, it would be in the best interest of the community to surrender them to the Federal Government.
He also faulted the Amnesty International for it’s inability to condemn the dastardly act where Nigeria security agents on peace-keeping mission were slaughtered and dicapitated like rams by natives for no good cause.
Onoh said that the killings was not just a communal clash but a threat to peaceful coexistence and internal security of the Nation.
The people of Okuama community committed atrocious and willful slaughtering of our gallant officers of the Nigerian Army and their actions are worse than what was witnessed during the Civil War.
Even at the point of the civil war they showed respect for fallen soldiers. They have not only assaulted the Nigerian Army but they have declared war on Nigeria and every single Nigerian.
Our brave men and women of the Army and all sister enforcements agencies were not trained to be slaughtered like rams. They have sowed the wind and must reap the whirlwind.
The aftermath of EndSARS ushered a new generation of criminals that went on a rampage killing Police Officers without reason and until we say enough is enough, we all will be at their mercy.
He also wondered why there is always a case of civilian population striking against the security agents whenever a Southerner becomes the Nigeria President, citing the case of the Odi massacre during the Olusegun Obasanjo regime, President Jonathan’s regime and now President Bola Tinubu’s regime.
But I promise those characters that have contributed to undermine the Tinubu led administration that we learnt from the mistakes of the Jonathan’s administration and I assure them that this nation isn’t Haiti.
We will not negotiate with terrorist from any quarters but we will ensure that the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria remains intact at all cost.
Let me remind the Chief of Army Staff that earlier this year Israel Defense Forces, IDF had launched a retaliation and investigation into the “disaster” that led to the deaths of 21 soldiers in Gaza. The rest is history.
