Operatives of the Nigerian Army have arrested chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Igbide Ward and two others in Isoko South Local Government Area over unlawful possession of arms and ammunition. The PDP ward chairman, identified as Christopher Irivi-Ubulubu, was said to be the chairman of all the PDP wards chairmen in Isoko South LGA.

They were apprehended on the backdrop of the recent communal crisis between Igbide and Emede communities where no fewer than five lives were lost and property worth fortunes destroyed.

The suspects were reportedly apprehended at their hideouts in one of the government schools in the community.

Mr. Irivi-Ukulubu, said to be in his 50s, was reportedly caught red-handed with the arms and ammunition on him and in his car while allegedly preparing to launch another attack on their neighbouring community over the purported land dispute.

He was said to have been under military interrogation but has been handed over to the Delta State Police Command through the Oleh Police Division on Friday.
