As of March 14, 2025, the perpetrators of the tragic Okuama killings, which resulted in the deaths of 17 military personnel in March 2024, have yet to be identified. This unresolved situation has led to significant unrest and grievances within the Okuama community and among Urhobo leaders.

In the aftermath of the incident, several community leaders were arrested by the Nigerian military between August 18 and 20, 2024. Among them was Pa James Oghoroko, the President-General of the Okuama community, who reportedly died in military detention in December 2024 under controversial circumstances, allegedly due to torture and inhumane treatment. 

This event sparked protests within the community, with residents demanding the immediate release of their detained leaders and threatening further unrest if their demands were not met. 

Human rights organizations and Urhobo groups have called for independent investigations into both the initial killings and the subsequent death of Pa Oghoroko. The Urhobo Media Practitioners and Advocacy Group (UMPAG) urged international bodies, including the United Nations and Amnesty International, to probe the circumstances surrounding Oghoroko's death and to hold those responsible accountable. 

Additionally, the Council of Urhobo Traditional Rulers and the Urhobo Progress Union have advocated for the Delta State Government to establish an Independent Truth Commission. The aim of this commission would be to investigate the causes of the Okuama/Okoloba crisis and to find a permanent resolution to prevent future occurrences. 

Despite these calls for action, the lack of progress in identifying and apprehending those responsible for the Okuama killings continues to be a source of frustration and lamentation among Urhobo leaders and the affected communities.
