Gun Battle Erupts In Delta State As Okowa's Men Take Over Local Motor Park

According to a witness of the bloody clash, Governor Okowa’s men shot sporadically as Mr. Adibu and his men were also seen returning fire. The gun battle paralyzed social and commercial activities in the area as residents scampered for their lives.

SaharaReporters learned of “heavy gun battle” taking place on Wednesday in Uvwie Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State when armed loyalists of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa invaded the local Motor Park of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and chased away the park leadership.

It was also learned that the daylight shooting carried out by Governor Okowa's men was related to a leadership tussle in the motor park, which has been a subject of controversy since before the emergence of Mr. Okowa as Governor.

Sources told SaharaReporters said that there have been longstanding issues between the park leadership and State government.

Mr. Okowa’s men chased Incumbent NURTW Chairman Napoleon Adibu and his cabinet away from the park. Mr. Okowa's men were led by Francis Ariyor and are said to be enjoying the full backing of National Assembly Representative Ms. Oboro, representing Uvwie/Okpe/Sapele Federal Constituency.
