Eight suspected killers of 17 soldiers in the Okuama community in Delta State have been declared wanted by the Nigerian Military.
The release of the names is coming barely 24 hours after the soldiers were given a befitting burial in Abuja.
The list which includes one female and seven males also has the name of one Professor Arthur Ekpekpo.

The identities of the suspects were released on Thursday morning by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba.
Buba, however, said there was no bounty placed on the wanted persons, but assured that the military authorities would leave no stone unturned to bring them to justice.
