Ikeja, Lagos – President Bola Tinubu has been urged to allow the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Department of State Service (DSS) to handle the investigation and fishing of the 17 soldiers, GOC, in the Okuama community in Delta state.
This is as the Nigerian Army has vowed to get to the root of the matter, fish out the killers and retrieve all the stolen military arsenals by the perpetrator.

Barrister Hassan condemns Delta killings of soldiers
While condemning the attack, the legal luminary said, “We cannot use a fire brigade approach to manage our security architecture.”
The legal icon then condemned the heinous crime, adding that it was barbaric to kill soldiers, especially GOC, who are not even when they were not at the war front with Boko Haram
The legal icon said:
“The DSS and the NSA office must be duly involved, not the same military, to go and investigate the action so that it does not snowball into a communal Odi crisis that Obasanjo gave a blanket order to go and level up a whole community and innocent babies were caught in the gun power.
“We don’t want a repetition of Odi, but we want a detailed forensic analysis of what transpired and the number of bullets.”
