Military sources have revealed that the bodies of five soldiers were dismembered by suspected cultists in Essien Udim LGA of Akwa Ibom state.

The soldiers were part of the joint operation Delta Safe deployed in the area.

In the past weeks, there has been a series of attacks by gunmen, especially on security personnel in the area.

As part of its efforts to curb the attacks, the military had sent in troops, but the attacks continued.

On Tuesday, however, the military returned with heavy force to comb the area.

Senior military officers who spoke with TheCable Wednesday, April 7, said about 10 soldiers had gone missing, before the troops went back and “found five bodies from those missing”.

“The military had to storm the area, and this time, with air strikes when about 10 of our soldiers got kidnapped,” one of the sources said.

“We flushed the criminals out, and while ground troops were combing the area, we found bodies of our soldiers, dismembered. It was shocking. We put their bodies together.”
