In the wake of the heinous act perpetrated in Okuama community of Ughelli South Local Government Area in Delta State where seventeen brave military personnel were ambushed and mercilessly slaughtered while on a peace mission, we demand unequivocal justice for each and every one of these fallen heroes. This egregious attack on our nation’s defenders is an affront to our sovereignty and an assault on the very fabric of our society.
These soldiers were not just military personnel; they were first and foremost Nigerian citizens, dedicated to protecting their fellow countrymen. No human being should ever be subjected to such barbaric, evil, and ungodly acts of violence. The Nigerian Government must swiftly and decisively ensure that justice is served for every single one of these brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is appalling that such a despicable act could occur in a nation where political correctness seems to overshadow the pursuit of true justice. If these victims had been civilians, the world would undoubtedly rise in unanimous condemnation and demand for justice. However, we must all agree that the victims have families friends, relatives and more importantly their lives. Therefore, justice must be blind to status or profession—it must be pursued relentlessly for all, without exception.
We call upon the Nigerian Government to uphold the rule of law and ensure that those responsible for this cowardly attack face the full force of justice. Let their sacrifice not be in vain, and may their families find solace in knowing that their loved ones will be honoured and remembered as heroes of our beloved nation.
