Reports coming to us now is that Suspected thugs, a team of police officers and men of the Nigerian army
from the 19th Battalion have rained terror on Ekpan community in Koko,
Warri North Local Government Area (LGA), Delta state.
The thugs and security men were said to be working on the orders of the
state governor, governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
The report said the attack was aimed at targeting supporters and loyalists
of Henry Baro, the former Chairman of the Uvwie Local Government
Council, who has been engaged in a political battle with Mr. Okowa and the
State House of Assembly Speaker, Monday Igbuya.
Persons listed as those fueling the crisis are principal secretary to governor
Okowa, Hillary Obi Ibegbulem, Warri North Constituency in the Delta state
House Of Assembly member Michael Diden (alias “Ejele”), chairman of the
Uvwie Council, Stella Dabunor Otiotio, and Delta state commissioner for
local government and chieftaincy affairs Bright Edejevwrho.
“At all costs, the governor and his hatchet men
want Baro’s supporters to go down. He is using
his Principal Secretary Hillary Obi Ibegbulem to
cause crisis in the Ekpan community.
Governor
Okowa is a big disappointment and a disgrace;
he has failed to settle a crisis that was initiated
between the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekpan
before the last governor’s primary election in
2015,” an indigene was quoted.
The report said the terror attack was organized under the guise of an
operation to apprehend illegal weapons.
