The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) of the Nigerian Army has released the names and photos of three officers, and 12 soldiers who were killed by attackers in Okuama Community in Ughelli Delta community.
The Defence Headquarters shared their photos and names on X account on Monday.
The fallen soldiers, serving with the 181 Amphibious Battalion, were said to be on a peace-keeping mission to quell community clashes in Bomadi Local Government of Delta State when the incident occurred.
Residents said the soldiers insisted on leaving with the community leaders for further questioning which was resisted by members of the community, leading to the opening of fire that resulted in scores of casualties and the subsequent flare up that involved the killing of soldiers.
