-Ewu community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu, the Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, Christopher Musa, and the Nigerian Army, to allow the people of Okuama-Ewu access to their homeland.
They named the mastermind as the one who instigated the communal crisis between the two communities, saying that he and his killer gang had also attempted to murder Kennedy Israel with his purported terror squad and killer squad of the Okoloba community. “It should be further noted that, till this moment, we have not been able to access any surviving member of the Okuama-Ewu community after the invasion in reprisal by the military since March 15.”
“It is necessary to state that before this incident, the Okuama community in Ughelli South local government area, shares a boundary with the Okoloba community in Bomadi local government area, both of Delta State.“However, both communities have lived peacefully for ages and have even intermarried. The situation took a new turn when both communities were having issues with land disputes that led to the killing of three Okuama-Ewu indigenes on January 27, 2024.
They told the commissioner that the killer-militia of the mastermind kidnapped, assaulted, and tortured Naira Osevata, Helen Nana, Helen Godwin, Baby Ubiodekporo, Victor Aphiayerhe, Baby Edafe and Kingsley Gentle.
