Delta-Monarch Clement Ikolo Released by Nigerian Army
In a significant turn of events, the Nigerian Army has taken the decision to release traditional ruler Clement Ikolo, who had previously been at the center of a nationwide manhunt after being implicated in the tragic and deeply troubling incident involving the murder of 17 soldiers in Delta State on March 14, 2024.
The monarch, along with seven others, had found themselves under intense scrutiny by the Defence Headquarters, as suspicions grew regarding their possible involvement in the aforementioned and heinous act that shook the nation to its core.
After an exhaustive period of investigation and detention, Clement Ikolo has now been granted his freedom, albeit under certain conditions. He has been entrusted into the care of Senator Ede Dafianone, who has assumed the responsibility of acting as his surety during this turbulent time.
This decision, undoubtedly a pivotal one, was formally communicated during a meticulously conducted briefing convened at the esteemed Army Headquarters. The proceedings were overseen by none other than Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, the distinguished Director of Army Public Relations, whose leadership and authority in matters of national security command immense respect and attention.
This development marks a significant milestone in the ongoing saga surrounding the tragic loss of our valiant soldiers and serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by our armed forces in safeguarding the peace and stability of our beloved nation.
As the story continues to unfold, the nation watches with bated breath, eagerly anticipating further insights and revelations that may shed light on the events that transpired on that fateful day in Delta State
