A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 13. NO 554. 24th March 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!
NIGERIAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION MUST STOP FURTHER COLLATERAL DAMAGES IN THE CREEKS NOW!
Once again, We offer our condolences to the entire Nigerian Army hierarchy and all the families of our gallant 17 slain soldiers whose souls are resting in Heaven with our Almighty Sovereign God and Creator.
The HOLY LAW OF GOD expressly forbids homicide in any form and stipulates that, "...he who kills by the sword shall perish by the sword."
In the past 10 days the Nigerian Media and social network have been awash with the very embarrassing and unpalatable news of the gruesome murder of these men in uniform whose lives were terminated while on a PEACE MISSION to resolve a land dispute between two communities in Delta State, South-south Nigeria.
It was also reported that their lifeless bodies were brutally mutilated and their weapons carted away!
According to one of the reports in the Premium Times, residents of the Okuama Community (one of the warring parties), has been fingered to have on 14th March 2024 ambushed and murdered the 17 military personnel including a commander (a lieutenant colonel), two majors, one captain and 13 soldiers!
The Nigerian army says the hoodlums who killed the military personnel in Delta State also carted away weapons belonging to the slain personnel.
During a condolence visit by the Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), the General Officer Commanding 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, and Joint Task Force, South- South Operation in Delta State, Jamal Abdussalam, disclosed that the suspected residents ambushed and murdered the Commanding Officer of 181 Army Amphibious Battalion, two majors, one captain and 13 soldiers.
The troops were ambushed and killed while responding to a distress call during a clash between Okuama and Okoloba communities in the South-southern state.
The military, earlier said a total of 16 soldiers were killed but later posted the names and photos of 17 soldiers, including the commander (a lieutenant colonel), two majors, one captain and 13 soldiers.
The GOC, Major General Abdussalam, said troops will be “firm, strong, decisive and professional” in conducting operations to arrest the hoodlums and recover the weapons, adding that the Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, had issued directives to the troops carrying out the operation.
THE ARMY CHIEF FURTHER SAID THE TROOPS WOULD CONTINUE TO BE IN THE CREEKS UNTIL THE HOODLUMS WERE ARRESTED AND WEAPONS RECOVERED!!!
He reiterated that “propaganda, arm-twisting, blackmailing, intimidation, and false narratives” would not distract troops from staying on course to achieve their objectives and called on people of the Niger Delta Region to go about their normal activities.
The army chief appealed to people in the communities to assist the troops with information about the location of the fleeing criminals and the weapons that were carted away from by the hoodlums.
“If we allow criminals to continue to attack our security forces, there will be anarchy,” he said.
He stressed that troops would not rest until all the hoodlums involved in the murder of the military personnel were tracked down and reassured that the operation against the attackers was being conducted in such a way that, going forward, nobody would contemplate attacking military personnel in uniform.
VENGEANCE IS MINE I WILL REPAY SAYS THE LORD!
" Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Romans. 12:19).
It is not only the ARMY and immediate families of the departed combatants that grief, the entire Nation grieves and would wish that the SLAIN SOLDIERS COULD JUST RESURRECT!
From the statement of the GOC it can be deduced that the military would remain an ARMY OF OCCUPATION in the CORDONED AREA until they fished out the criminals involved in the dastard act.
* How long will it take the Commander-In- Chief of the Armed Forces Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) who had ordered thorough investigations to be carried out to call his SUBORDINATES TO ORDER?
We want to remind the Nigerian Army that they should still remember that Nigeria is operating a DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT - A CIVIL AUTHORITY THEY MUST BE SUBJECTED TO AT ALL TIMES!
*Up to the time of this publication Sunday 24th March, 2024, the cordoned area remained off limits to other members of the security architecture in Nigeria namely the The Nigerian Police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), DSS etc, and even the Nigerian Press which is the Fourth Estate of the Realm!
WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THAT REGION RIGHT NOW IS SHROUDED IN SECRECY!
Already various accusations have been leveled against the Nigeria Army that military atrocities were being perpetrated in the CORDONED AREA similar to the total massacre/destructions of Odi Village, Balyesa State in 1999, and Zaki Biam Village Benue State between 20th-24th October 2001, by Nigerian Army soldiers during the tenure of Ex-president Rtd. General Olusegun Obasanjo!
One fact should be made clear to the Nigerian Army hierarchy that they cannot be the ACCUSER, the INVESTIGATOR, the PROSECUTOR and the JUDGE IN THEIR OWN Case!
Already the accused Community has been razed down, innocent citizens especially the vulnerable, women, children, juveniles and even pregnant women have been murdered in Cold Blood according to media reports while the Army claimed not to be culpable!
* Total blackout of the Nigerian Army activities - successes or failures - in their quest to fish out the murderers from the Creeks may only be known to the C-IN-C who also believes that he was not subject to inform developments to CITIZENS who "voted" him to POWER!
For how long will the Nigerian Army remain AN ARMY OF OCCUPATION in that land because according to the GOC they would remain in the creeks until they fished out the murderers!
Are they sure that the heinous murderers were still in the Creeks and why has it taken so long for them to reach and arrest those criminals?
OUR SUMMATION:
"Not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing." (1Peter.3:9).
The Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces should make a CATEGORICAL STATEMENT TO PROVE THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THIS COUNTRY'S SECURITY ARCHITECTURE AND THAT THE ARMY HAS NOT TAKEN OVER FROM HIM!
He MUST Issue an order for INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATORS AND CRIMINOLOGISTS that are abound in the nation in conjunction with THE NIGERIAN PRESS TO UNRAVEL WHAT ACTUALLY TRANSPIRED IN OKUAMA AND OKOLOBA COMMUNITIES, DELTA STATE!
DELAY COULD BE DANGEROUS!
The Word of God says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Proverbs. 1:7).
THESE HURTING AND ANGRY SOLDIERS MUST BE PERSUADED TO CALM DOWN. DEATH IS AN ULTIMATE AND INEVITABLE PRICE EVERYONE MUST PAY!
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGMENT!" (Hebrews. 9:27).
MAY THE SOULS OF THIS GALLANT HEROES REST IN PERFECT PEACE WITH THE LORD! AMEN, AMEN.
[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
