Nigeriaβs President Bola Tinubu has backed the military after soldiers were killed in the Okuama and Okoloba communities in Delta. The attack on Sunday led to the deaths of four officers, 12 soldiers, and one civilian.

Human rights activists and legal experts have, however, called for an immediate cessation of retaliatory violence. What measures can the authorities implement to guarantee the protection of innocent civilians?
