Meanwhile, the President-General of Gbaregolor Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, Samson O. Egayomake, has debunked the false information about soldiers attacking the community and setting houses on fire.

This contradicts the rumour suggesting that soldiers purportedly raided the Gbaregolor community and set numerous houses on fire.

Egayomake conveyed this information during a telephone conversation with a Daily post in Warri, confirming that the Gbaregolor Community relies on divine protection.

Egayomake mentioned that soldiers allegedly harassed individuals within the locality, deeming the actions unnecessary, especially considering the significant distance between Gbaregolor and Okuama, where the ambush occurred and led to the death of 17 soldiers.

Egayomake said, “The Federal Government refused to investigate and find out what caused the whole thing other than to disturb people, which is not fair.”
