While the village of Niger Delta block journalists from the AP from see soldiers allowed Onduku to visit how his father owns a House.
The fresh grave sits near the ruins of a District Court in Ayakoromor with many other houses destroyed by seemingly fire and heavy weapons fire that said lawyer. Onduku said local people told him that soldiers made to bury them other bodies in graves around the village, and others are feared dead.
The Nigerian military refused civilians died during the attack, a wanted militant leader named John Togo to capture. General of the military operations in the Delta said soldiers only opened fire when someone you raised as you Wednesday approached Ayakoromor's coastline at the beginning of the RAID.
However, human rights activists say more than 150 people as the military used heavy machine gun fire and air attacks on the village died. He said five people who saw suffering gunshot wounds during his short visit Onduku.

Militant and military attacks are nothing new for the Niger Delta region of streams and mangroves on the size of South Carolina. The attacks of an uprising began in 2006 in crude oil production in Nigeria, an OPEC member nation that ranks among the leading suppliers of crude oil to the United States dramatically cutting
