The Board of Inquiry constituted by Defence Headquarters to probe the March 17 killing of 17 soldiers at Okuama, Delta State, is scheduled to commence sitting today in Warri.

Chairman of the Board, Air Vice Marshal David Ajayi, told Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in Warri that they are on a fact-finding mission, to gather facts from security agencies, community leaders, and community dwellers.

He noted that the report will also help to ensure healthy communication that will enhance civil-military relations and ensure that economic activities thrive again in the affected communities.

Some Okuama leaders, however told journalists that their people would not be part of the inquiry as they have been displaced from their ancestral homes.
