The recent shameful alterations, ignorant opinions and crocodile cries of one Pamela Ifejokwu over claims of the illegimated detention of her father has continued to unravel more testimonies, attesting the despicable and abominable role which Okey Ifejokwu played in the widespread acts of sponsored intra-communal clashes across Idumuje-Ugboko Community in Aniocha North LGA of Delta state.


Few hours after Pamela Ifejokwu released a displaced publication to deceive the public with outbursts of lamentations to attract sympathy, stating that there were no victims in the Idumuje-Ugboko community crisis, several Persons, whose parents and relatives were being brutalized have spoken up to challenge her postulations.

While several testifying victims described Pamela as evil, others revealed more of the deadly activities which her father pioneered, leading to several deaths, killings, intimidations, oppressions and bizarre brutalisation in Idumuje-Ugboko community, when he was President of the Idumuje-Ugboko Development Union in 2017.

Amongst some of the reactions included that of the Daughter of Odogwu of Idumuje-Ugboko Kingdom, whose father is a living witness and victim of the intimidations of Okey Ifejokwu and his thugs. The Daughter of the Odogwu of Idumuje-Ugboko kingdom had referred Pamela Ifejokwu as a liar, who claimed that her father, was unjustly arrested and detained. She further stated that there are evidence to proof that Okey Ifejokwu sponsored thugs and funded the acquisition of ammunition during the vicious intra-communal clashes recorded in in Idumuje kingdom.

Some other reactors cautioned the Fugitive's Daughter, Pamela Ifejokwu for falsefully accusing Ned Nwoko of Land grabing, as they noted clearly that their superior had followed the required process in the acquisition of every land he acquired in the Community. Another victim whose father was later died from the torture inflicted by thugs of Pamela's Father Okey Ifejokwu described Pamela to be insensitive, as she claims the uninvolvement of her father in Idumuje-Ugboko community crisis.

However other victims have commended the Nigeria Police Force and efforts of famous Nigerian International Lawyer, Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko for his timely intervention at ensuring that justice is secured, especially with the arrest Ifejokwu as nobody is above the law. Okey Ifejokwu is currently facing multiple trials for alleged murder and widespread acts of sponsored intra-communal clashes in his rural community.

Pamela you're a liar
You're behaving like your father Ifejiokwu by........ Daughter of the Odogwu of Idumuje Ugboko speaks....
Ifejiokwu was not unjustly arrested or detained,
NED DIDN'T GRAB ANY LAND
Listen to the daughter of the second in command in Idumuje Ugboko.
