The Nigerian Army, on Monday, said the Okuama community in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State where military personnel were killed, had resorted to propaganda.
It denied any form of reprisal on the community, as a report gathered that about twenty suspects have been arrested.
The Defence headquarters on Monday slammed the community and stressed that no amount of propaganda would stop culprits from being nabbed. At the same time, the Army vowed that there would be injurious consequences.
Meanwhile, a community leader who spoke on the condition of anonymity accused the military of carrying out mass arrests and killings, alleging that soldiers had begun targeting innocent civilians in the community rather than going after the miscreants who committed the crime.
