Delta gov visits Okuama, journalists barred from coverage

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has visited Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state, where military officers and civilians were killed in an ambush.

The governor’s visit is to examine the extent of the damage done in the incident.

The military Joint Task Force, JTF, however, barred journalists from covering the governor’s tour of the troubled community.

The JTF operatives barricaded the major entries to Okuama with an armoured personnel carrier tank, thus preventing vehicular and human traffic, including media men, from gaining access to the community.

Oborevwori was welcomed by the leader of the JTF, General Officer Commanding 6 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Jamaal Abdulsalam.
