It is still not clear what actually caused the
brawl, but it was gathered that armed Ijaw
youths razed no fewer than three houses in
Madangho.
Meanwhile, community clashes like this is
usually rampant in the South-South region,
besides there has been brewing tension
between the Itsekiri people of Ugborodo and Ijaw
of Gbaramatu following the commissioning of the
$16 billion gas city project.
The just concluded general elections in the area
are also believed to be a propelling factor to the
development.
The Ijaw nation in Rivers state has blamed the
state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) for President
Goodluck Jonathan’s failure in the presidential
election, which it said worked against the
interests of the Niger Delta.
