Okuama killings: Wanted Ewu monarch surrenders to authorities

King of Ewu kingdom, Clement Ikolo, who is one of the suspects declared wanted by the Nigerian military, has surrendered himself to the authorities.

The Nigerian Army Defence Headquarters had declared eight persons wanted over the March 14 killing of 17 soldiers at Okuama Community, Delta State.

Ikolo was among the eight persons declared wanted by the Nigerian Army Defence Headquarters.

Also declared wanted is a suspected militant leader, Akevwru Daniel Omotegbono, also known as Amagbein, who soldiers tracked to the Igbomoturu community in Southern-Ijaw Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, a few days after the incident, but missed him.

On the list of wanted persons are the President-General of Ewu, Prof Ekpekpo Arthur and Reuben Baru, the young man who made a viral video recently, narrating why they killed the soldiers.

Igoli Ebi, is supposedly the mother of one of the wanted persons. Atata Malaw David, and Sinclear Oliki are suspected to be part of the Amagbein gang.
