An independent source told Vanguard yesterday that some persons were wounded in the battle.<\/p>\n<p>Already, residents, particularly women and children started fleeing the community in droves, yesterday morning, when they saw the way soldiers besieging the town, which was a theatre of a gory war, last year, between the task force and ex-militant leader, John Togo, whose militant group, Niger-Delta Liberation Force, NDLF,\u00a0 killed some soldiers, allegedly in self-defense when their camp\u00a0 were invaded.<\/p>\n<p>Vanguard gathered on good authority that tension mounted at the community yesterday, as a villager who spoke on phone said, \u201cThe women and children have been asked to leave the community for safety but the men were not allowed to leave\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>An apparent retaliatory attack by soldiers, in 2010, over the killing of their colleagues, witnessed the razing of many houses and several killings, which were utterly denied by the task force, but, the Federal Government directed that the burnt houses be re-built, while the state government also intervened by providing some relief materials to the people and also undertaking to build houses for the people.<\/p>\n<p>Spokesman of JTF, Lt.Col Timothy Antigha , who confirmed the skirmish,\u00a0 said, \u201cAt about 13.53\u00a0 hours today (Wednesday), again in Ayakoromo community in Burutu local\u00a0 government area of Delta state, there was a skirmish between troops of the JTF who were on routine patrol and renegade militants, suspected\u00a0 to be associates of the wanted John Togo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther details will be provided later. You will recall that the just two days ago, the JTF in a press release warned that discredited politicians who lost election in Delta state were colluding with some discredited elements to threaten security in the state and region\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
