#odio-ama

About 10.00am, on Saturday, 19th February 2006, the Odio-Ama Community was invaded. A contingent of soldiers, navy, police and Nigeria’s secret police (State Security Services) came in gun boats, and attacked it through its western axis. They killed and maimed natives at sight. Several houses there were razed down. The military action was a response to the savage slaughtering of twelve councillors from the Nembe Local Government Council.
