The Delta state governor, Sheriff Oborevwori has just briefed President Bola Tinubu on the incident that led to the killing of 16 soldiers in Okuoma community, Ughelli South council area of the state last week.
Governor Oborevwori, who briefed journalists at the State House, after the meeting with President Tinubu, however, said the situation had been brought under control.
He assured that perpetrators of the brutal murder of the officers and men of the Nigerian Army in the incident would be tracked and brought to justice.
The governor, who also assured that there would be no more of such attacks in the area, further assured that the government would ensure that the innocent do not suffer for the offence committed by criminal elements.
The governor declined casualty figures, saying that being a security issue there are certain things he cannot say in the public.
No fewer than 16 Nigerian soldiers were killed while on a mission to douse clashes between two communities in the South-South state of Delta on Thursday.
It would be recalled that the Army had requested the Okuoma community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State to identify those who killed its officers and men.
It also released the names of those slain.
