Hoodlums seize Delta community, residents complain vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
RESIDENTS of Ovwian community in Udu Local Government Area, Delta State, have complained that cultists and other gangsters have taken over the locality, saying they no longer sleep at night.
According to Uparan, “Ovwian was a very peaceful community where people come to do business. The problem started immediately after the 2019 governorship election. We wrote series of letters to the government and various security agencies to come to our aid, they did nothing.” Ezekiel in his address, said, “I have decided to visit the troubled zone so as to synergize with relevant security apparatus to fashion an all-embracing strategy to end the incessant robbery and cult killings in Oviwan and other Udu communities.”
“I came so that we can plan together on how we can curb the menace of cultism, armed robbery and other vices in our community. I appeal to my fellow youth to maintain peace. Do not allow circumstances around to influence you to commit crime. I am giving you my words. Today, before the week runs out, the report of your complain will get to the governor for prompt action. Our amiable governor Okowa is a peace loving man. When there is peace, development will come to Ovwian community,” he said.
