BREAKING!!! Soldiers Invade Biafran Community After THIS Happened (Photo)

The people of Touma community, Bille kingdom in Degema Local Government of Rivers State have accused soldiers of invading their community.

They alleged that 15 houses were torched and many were injured.

An eyewitness, Mr. Akpoebi Dino, said unidentified gunmen attacked an Army House Boat at Touma last week, killing two civilians and a soldier.

The source said men of the Joint Military Task Force stormed the area in over seven gunboats and shot people.

He said: “The soldiers, on reprisal, came to our community in over seven gunboats, shooting sporadically.

“The incident occurred, about 10 a.m., Many people were injured and 15 houses burnt down.

“The soldiers accused us of conniving with criminals to attack them. We don’t know what they mean by that.

“We have been living peacefully with the soldiers for years before this incident. We don’t know the cause of the sudden change in their attitude. When gunmen attacked the military base, the community took those injured to hospital and deposited three bodies in the mortuary.”

Bille kingdom described as shocking, the attack on Touma by military men, saying the reprisal was unwarranted.

In a statement signed by the Chairman, Bille Kingdom Community Development Committee, Asatubo Igbanibo Kemuel and the Youth President, Obirabi Sanipe Sylvanus, the kingdom noted that Touma was invaded by military men.
