Reps tell the military to look into the death of soldiers in the Delta.

The House of Representatives has urged military authorities to investigate the murder of 17 personnel in the Okuoma community, Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State.
Moving a matter of urgent importance titled “Need to investigate and apprehend perpetrators of the gruesome killing of 17 military personnel in Delta State” on the floor of the House on Tuesday, member representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Babajimi Benson, described the incident as mindless and unfortunate.
Seventeen soldiers deployed to the Delta community on a peace mission met their untimely death last Thursday in an ambush.
He recalled that the fallen heroes were only responding to a distress call in their service to their fatherland when they were ambushed and killed on Thursday.
The House noted that unless the killings are checked, they have the potential of demoralising the military and affecting the war on insecurity, which has so far recorded some successes.
