Fighting Breaks Out In Ndokwa Community by bilymuse: 9:25pm On Sep 30, 2008 |
[size=15pt]Fighting breaks out in Ndokwa community [/size] Written by Austin Ogwuda Tuesday, 30 September 2008 FIERCE fighting has broken out in Obetim-Unor, Delta State over the contentious issue of which of the two neighbouring local governments, namely Ndokwa East or Ndokwa West they rightly belong. As a result of the crisis between the warring factions in the community, many people have fled their homes. Several people have been reported wounded and property destroyed, while police have drafted anti-riot policemen to the area. Vanguard had sometime in February this year reported that crisis was looming in Obetim community; that whilst some people from the boundary community are claiming that the community is properly located in Ndokwa East local government area, another group led by the traditional ruler of the community is kicking against it. Addressing some women from the community who staged a peaceful protest to the office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Asaba, the Permanent Secretary in the SSG office, Mr. Andy Omokri told the women that “government is already addressing the issue. Fighting and crisis cannot solve the problem of Obetim-Unor people wanting to be in Ndokwa East or Ndokwa West. People should have confidence in government. You should allow peace to reign, whether you are in Ndokwa east or west, you are still in Delta State. source:http://www.vanguardngr.com/content/view/18264/44/ |
