This incident has sparked a range of reactions among concerned Nigerians.
Reports obtained on Sunday, however, revealed that military personnel and more than three armoured vehicles crossed the Bomadi Bridge in the evening, possibly heading towards the creeks.
Reports are that the soldiers who were previously sent to the Okuama community have continued to demolish houses in the area as a result of the loss of their comrades last week.
According to Vanguard, a source from the community confirmed on Sunday evening that the military is currently occupying Okuama and has demolished several houses.
“As I’m talking to you right now, soldiers are there and they continue the demolition of buildings in the community, and I don’t think they would leave very so soon.
