Delta State<\/a> Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Friday, charged the Board of Enquiry set up by the Defence Headquarters to probe the Okuama killings to be transparent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 14, military personnel comprising four officers and 13 soldiers were murdered by some irate youths in the Okuama community in Delta State while on a peace mission.<\/p>\n

Oborevwori also cautioned that innocent citizens should not be made to suffer any further.<\/p>\n

He spoke in Warri when he received on a courtesy visit, the Chairman and members of the Board of Enquiry set up by the Defence Headquarters to probe the Okuama killings at the Government House Annex.<\/p>\n

He added that his administration is pained about the crisis leading to the killing While assuring them that the state government would do all it could to assist the board with its assignment, he narrated how the state had managed the situation.<\/p>\n

He explained that in order to honour the deceased officers and soldiers, he led a top-level delegation of members of the State Security Council and members of the State Executive Council to attend the funeral of the slain officers and soldiers in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cI am very happy for this meeting taking place here today in Warri. Most people who spoke about the issue did so out of ignorance because they lacked true knowledge of the facts of what happened.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSetting up this Board of Enquiry is a good one. In my MORE Agenda, we said we are going to ensure peace and security, and for the first time in a long while, we celebrated Christmas without any hitches and I must thank security agencies in the state for a job well done.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Delta State, there are two bodies we don\u2019t play with: the Advisory and Peace Building Council and the Peace Building and Conflict Resolution \u2013 because they are doing a lot to ensure enduring peace in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told the Secretary to the State Government to invite the Okuama\/Okoloba people. So, l made it mandatory that the Chairmen of Ughelli South and Bomadi Local Government Councils to be in attendance, the members of the State House of Assembly who are representing the constituencies should also be in attendance and the Presidents- General of the communities should be in attendance.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat meeting was held on the 7th of February, and they signed a peace accord. So, we were not expecting anything negative when the military went there for a peace mission.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The governor added, \u201cIn Delta State, we don\u2019t encourage crisis. So, we want to assure you that whichever information you people want, we will give it to you, and we will also come up with our position paper to submit to you people before you leave.<\/em><\/p>\n

That will also guide you on the role that we have played as a state because if we don\u2019t come with this position paper, you will not know the role that the state has played\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
