Isaba and Ogbe-Ijoh communities in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Sunday, November 13 allegedly launched a coordinated attack
on Aladja Community and killed one of its indigene, who is yet to be identified and captured four others, DAILY POST is reporting.
It was gathered that the Isaba Vigilante Chairman simply identified as Ayiba allegedly led the latest attack on Aladja community as they shot sporadically into the air, killed one and capture three Aladja indigenes through Aladja/Isaba road while the Ogbe-Ijoh youths in a separate attack also captured one Aladja Indigene after the Isaba people had retreated.
The reason for the attack has not been ascertained as at press time, but members of the Aladja Community who were lamenting when DAILY POST visited the scene of incident claimed that they discovered that one of their indigenes whose name is yet to be confirmed has been allegedly killed by the Isaba after the Isaba youths as they saw blood stains in the bush paths of Aladja community at about 11:30am.
The incident forced the Aladja Community Vigilante and some executive members of Aladja community including youths into Searching for the murdered murdered indigene but in the process arrested some persons.
A source within the Aladja community Vigilante who craved anonymity said, “Isaba community attacked us and killed one of our persons.”
As at the time of filing this report, there was tension in the area as the Aladja People have vowed not to tolerate the senseless killings of its indigenes since the Delta State Government has failed to condemn the dastard acts by the Isaba and Ogbe-Ijoh people.
When DAILY POST contacted the President of Aladja community council, Mr. Elias Dogene, he said, “ I am on a mission. I dey road. I will call you later.”
But the Vice President of Aladja community council, Mr. Kingsley Vwavwahor who was at the scene said that, “ That is what I heard. We are yet to verify that report. I am in the scene of the incident as I speak with you.” He noted that the Isaba people entered Aladja Community through the Harvard Secondary School area along Aladja/Isaba road, launched the attack, killed one person and captured three others.
According to Mr. Vwavwahor, “ We are not happy. There are some people trying to undermine us. It is very sad.”
As at the time of filing this report, men of the Nigeria Police Force from the Ovwian Police Divisional Headquarters just arrived Aladja and are approaching the Isaba community axis for reasons not very clear.
