The operations took just four days, November 20-24, 1999. But these were enough to demolish lives and livelihoods. How will these losses be counted? Apparently, no one has bothered to compile a list of those killed by Nigerian soldiers. It has become customary to dump the bodies of those killed into mass graves. We have been unable to obtain any list of victims for this documentation. But Odi can count itself lucky that non-soldiers were allowed to visit its misery shortly after it was levelled. Various reports, not by professionals, have been compiled. We share them with those who are interested in the basic humanity of the residents of the Niger Delta and, especially, of the indigenous people of Odi. They are listed below.
