National Leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has condemned the killing of senior military officers and soldiers at Okuama Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta on Saturday, 14th March, 2024.

In a statement he personally signed, the elder statesman, described the news as shocking.

He said he is personally pained by the fact that the incident occured barely two days after he had spoken with the Commander Officer of 181 Batallion in connection with preparations for the burial of his younger brother, Colonel Bernard Clark (retired), who was buried just on Friday, 15th March, 2024.

“This dastardly act is totally unacceptable and must be fully investigated. There must be no sacred cows, the culprits must be brought to book as early as possible.

“PANDEF mourns the slain military personnel and commiserates with all the families and the entire Nigerian Army.

“PANDEF further urges the Nigerian Army and other security personnel around the country to continue with their great national service and not to be dettered by this present sad development.

“May their souls rest in peace.”
