Okuama IDPs report to Camp[/caption]
Recall that following the killing of 17 soldiers around Okuama community on March 14th, the Nigerian army in what has been termed a revenge mission destroyed all properties in Okuama, with only a Church building standing.
Advocate.ng gathered that Okuama people who before now rejected the government offer of the IDP Camp at Ewu-Urhobo, had a change of mind following a stakeholders meeting between the leaders of Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom and in turn appealed to the Okuama to trust the government initiative and embrace the rehabilitation program.
