The Niger-Delta Women Professionals have issued a plea to those responsible for the brutal killing of soldiers from the 181 Amphibious Division in Okuama community, Delta State, urging them to surrender to military authorities promptly to restore peace to the troubled Communities.
In a statement released by the President and General Secretary of the group, Mrs. Augusta Wariboko and Dr. Agnes Tari, respectively, the women emphasised the need for cooperation from residents of Okuama and its environs to provide security agencies with vital information to apprehend the culprits.
The group condemned the heinous act, stressing that the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria for the country should be respected, and such acts of violence are unacceptable and detrimental to peace in the region.
