Nigerian troops still in restive oil community: army

Nigeria’s military on Wednesday denied quitting the Gbaramatu community where troops provide security for oil firms and staff, contrary to a claim by an armed group in the restive, oil-rich Niger Delta.

“The JTF (Joint Task Force) is still in Gbaramatu and will remain so until the situation is assessed to be normalising. Law-abiding citizens shouldn?t fear as we are there for them,” Joint Task Force spokesman Rabe Abubakar said in a statement.
