The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has condemned the killing of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army in Okuama community of Delta State. Obi, in a statement via his verified Twitter handle, described the killing as barbaric and totally unacceptable.

The former governor of Anambra State expressed concern that the development is coming just a week after it was reported that several policemen were killed in Delta State. He said, 'Just last week, several policemen were reportedly killed while on duty in Delta State. We were still recovering from the shock over such a sad occurrence when yesterday, we were besieged with the gory reports of the killing of 22 officers and men of the Nigerian Army, also in Delta State.

“These sad occurrences and many cases of killing, kidnappings and violent crimes around the country, have continued to fuel very deep concerns over the security of the nation. “These security operatives are making a lot of sacrifices in their line of duty, and in some cases pay the supreme price. We must therefore appreciate and value them by showing empathy towards them and ensuring healthcare for those who are wounded.
