WARRI—YOUTHS of Yokri, Sokebolou and other Ijaw
communities in Ogulagha Kingdom, Burutu Local
Government Area in Delta State, weekend, attacked
Ogidigben, the Itsekiri community in Warri South-West
Local Government Area of the state, where the $16 billion
Export Processing Zone, EPZ, is located.
A source told Vanguard: “The Ijaw youths shot into the air
near the EPZ site to scare the Itsekiri, but nobody was
injured.”
Itsekiri leader, Chief Ayiri Emami, confirmed that there was
indiscriminate shooting by Ijaw youths when contacted. He
also condemned the action, saying it was clear that those
involved wanted to use the shooting to attract the attention
of Mr. President.
He said work on the EPZ project site was advancing towards
Madangho and Ajudaibo, both Itsekiri communities and
there was no need for the Ijaw of Ogulagha to threaten the
project.
Chairman, Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Ogulagha Kingdom,
Doubra Okotete, confirmed on phone that Ogulagha youths
attacked Ogidigben because they were inching into their
land.
He said the attack was a warning strike to tell the Ogidigben
people that Ogulagha youths have the capacity to defend
their land and would strike a big blow if justice was not
done.
Okotete said: “Nobody was injured as the plan was not to
injure anybody. They only carried out a warning attack.”

GEJ, the most divisive president in the history of Nigeria.

I'm always saddened whenever I read about my fellow Ijaw youths allegedly engage in these kinds of acts.

Please, let's leave this Itsekiri/ijaw crisis behind and move on.

Lemme call Boyloaf and Tompolo.
