According to reports, residents have been gripped with fear following heavy military presence in Bodo community in Gokana Local Government Area of River state.
The militarization of the region is coming
days after a fresh oil spill from installations owned by Shell took over
portions of the community waters without any intervention leading to
widespread protest in the community.
The military presence
according to the villagers is as a result of the protest by the Bodo
people against this fresh phase of environmental degradation.
