Okuama youths removed vital body parts of 17 slain soldiers – Chief of Army Staff
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has
accused youths of Okuama community in Delta State of removing vital body parts
of the 17 slain soldiers.
Lagbaja disclosed that the 17 soldiers killed in Okuama
community in Delta State were part of the finest men of the Nigerian Army.
The Army chief said their body parts were dismembered and
scattered all over Okuama community.
Speaking during the burial of the slain 17 soldiers at the
Military Cemetery in Abuja on Wednesday, Lagbaja said: “As a profession that
deals with life and death, when soldiers die in the hands of the enemies of the
state, we take it as dying for what the nation considers as a just cause, but
when they are gruesomely murdered by the very people they are trained to
protect, it is highly demoralizing.
