Militant Group Behind Okuama Killing Dares FG, Demands Waterways Security

A militant group, Amagbein Force, suspected to have killed the 17 military personnel at Okuama, Delta State, on March 14, has demanded that the Federal Government hands over waterways security to the group, Vanguard newspaper reports.

A member of the group, in a trending video, Tuesday, March 26, 2024, said he was speaking for his leader , Amagbein, the River Lord.

The Army had since identified Amagbein as the mastermind of the March 12 slaughter of it’s men , and tracked him to Igbomotoru community in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, last week, but did not find him.

Amagbein, who banished the royal father of Igbomotoru from his throne is currently on the run.

The bearded member, who wore a singlet, and tying a white band round his head , said Amagbein is from the same lineage with the Ijaw revolutionary leader, the late Isaac Adaka Boro.

“We, the followers will stand with Amagbein until death do us apart.

“We are begging the Federal Government to ensure that the waterways security is given to the person doing the right work.

“Bunkering will not stop if the Federal Government refuses to attend to us in a peaceful, easy way.”
