......The Government should Carryout the Punishments Due to Violators in the Agreed Terms of the Peace Accord Signed By Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja Communities.

~The Government Should do Justice to Hon. Taylor Who Was Killed by Aladja Youths.

Warri____ The Chairman of Ijaw Youth Council IYC, Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom has called on the Delta State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa to as a matter of urgency fish out the Aladja Youths behind the recent attack and the killing of Hon. Taylor Agofugha of Ogbe-Ijoh last week Tuesday, right in front of his home in the community.

Amb. Okosu acuses governor Okowa for not been fair to Ogbe-Ijoh people, stressing that it is unjust for over five days of Aladja Youths gruesome murder of their son, Delta state government has not done anything to fish out the perpetrators, neither punish Aladja community for violating the sieze fire Peace Accord agreement signed by both communities before the government.

Amb. Okosu stated this in a Press Release dated 19th October, 2019 stressed that, governor Okowa is behind Aladja community for his lukewarm attitude toward apprehending the killers of Hon Taylor Agofugha, after the Executive Chairman of Udu Local Government Council, Hon Jite Brown has revealed the identity of those boys that committed the atrocity on Tuesday 15th October, 2019 noon at Ogbe-Ijoh.

Accoding to the Press Release read; " The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Ogbe-ijoh Warri Kingdom expresses her disappointment in the Delta State Government led by His Excellency, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa for being unfair to the Ogbe-Ijoh people in this communal crisis; and for not discharging constitutional responsibilities.

Today is the fifth day Hon.Taylor Williams Ogofugha was killed by Aladja youth at his compound in Ogbe-Ijoh,
opposite the Warri South West Secretariat.

It is so unjust that untill this moment the Government has never done anything to punish Aladja community for violating the seize fire order which was agreed and duly signed by both communities and the Government.

Having known the truth that it was the Aladja Youths who attacked and killed Hon. Taylor Williams Ogofugha on Tuesday October 15, 2019 at his compound in Ogbe-ijoh, which was also confessed by Mr. Jite Brown, Executive Chairman, Udu Local Government Area and leaders of Aladja Community; still the government failed to do what is just.

The nonchalant attitude of the government is a clear indication that they are the engine room behind Aladja Community so whatever unlawful act they committed will be unpunished.

There can be no peace without justice. Therefore,  the government should do justice to the dead of our beloved brother, Hon. Taylor who was killed by the Aladja youths on Tuesday 15th October, 2019."

Amb. Okosu Smart,
