The residents of the Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State, were taken aback as the Nigerian military intensified its efforts to clear houses in the area. With the arrival of three swamp buggies transported on barges from the Bomadi axis of River Forcados, the demolition process accelerated.
As reported by Vanguard, a community insider revealed that the machines brought in were swiftly deployed to clear nearly half of the community. However, amidst the demolition activities, rumors circulated that the military had plans to construct barracks on the land of Okuama community.
According to the source, it seemed inevitable that the army would establish barracks in Okuama, prompting the meticulous clearing and evacuation of debris from the area. The anticipation grew as whispers suggested that the Chief of Army Staff would soon visit Okuama to inaugurate the barracks project.
