Reports reaching us states  that the community in Delta state where soldiers were allegedly killed has been  set on fire.

This was not the same reaction from the Nigerian Army when soldiers were killed in North.

The killing of soldiers in Delta is sad. As we advocate for justice it is important that we remember that justice is not same thing as genocide. Nigerian Army’s response should be within the ambits of the Law.

“Wipe them out… Raze them down…”

This is not an Israeli Army.

Meanwhile, differing accounts of what happened in Okuoma community have begun to emerge with one twitter user alleging that an earlier detachment of soldiers came and killed two persons in the village triggering the response from some community members.
