Chairman of the group, Walter Moneyman, made the call while reacting to reports of the withdrawal of troops from Okuama in Delta State, where several soldiers on a peaceful mission were killed. Moneyman hailed the military for hearing the voice of reason to vacate Okuama, which he stated had reduced the tension that hitherto pervaded the area.
According to him, the people of Igbomotoru had borne a greater brunt of the incident that occurred at Okuama with people living in fear of reprisals from the military under the guise of tracking down the fleeing masterminds of the Okuama incident.
