Delta: Soldiers did not invade Okpare-Olomu community – LG chairman
The Chairman of Ughelli South LGA of Delta State, Lucky I. Avweromre on Sunday said the presence of soldiers in Okpare-Olomu community is not an invasion as widely reported in some sections of the media.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Media Unit, Office of the Council, the Chairman, on Sunday.
The council boss pointed out that the soldiers were on a ‘routine community to community monitoring patrol’ in Ughelli South LGA.
He denied allegations that the soldiers invaded Okpare-Olomu community.
“To say the military invade Okpare is untrue, false,” Avweromre said.
He added that the soldiers were in Okpare-Olomu to ensure compliance with the order to postpone the community conference scheduled for December 26, 2024.
He noted that the conference was postponed due to a court order prohibiting community meetings, pending the conclusion of court proceedings.
“The Ughelli South Local Government Council, led by Chairman Hon. Lucky I. Avweromre, requested the postponement to maintain peace and stability in the community.
“The letter, signed by Ewenede J.A, Secretary to the Local Government, was addressed to the President General of Okpare Community and copied to various security agencies, including the Commissioner of Police, Nigeria Police Force, and the Commanding Officer, 181 Amphibious Battalion, Agbor, Delta State.
“The presence of the security agencies, the Police, the NSCDC, the Army and the VGN was aimed at preventing any potential defiance of the chairman’s order and ensuring a peaceful resolution.
“It’s essential to correct the misleading information and provide an accurate account of events,” he added.
