Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta has promised that the state government and military authorities have agreed that no innocent citizens will suffer from the outcome of March 14 killing of soldiers.
Oborevwori made this known on Tuesday while speaking with State House correspondents after a meeting with Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that the unfortunate killings of military personnel had further exacerbated the feud between the two warring communities.
“Since last year, we have been enjoying peace in Delta State, and we commend all security agencies.

“What is happening now is something that we didn’t bargain for. But we want to assure everybody that there will be no more attacks on the villages if there is any that has happened in the past.”
The governor gave the assurance that those responsible for the killings would be brought to book, adding that innocent citizens are assured of safety.
He further added that a meeting between the state government and traditional leaders would be held next week to find a quick resolution to the issue on ground.
