Aladja/Ogbe-Ijoh Renewed Killings, IPDI Mourns Slain Former Member Comrade Taylor Agofugha, Urges Delta State Government, Security Agents To Fish Out Perpetrators

Francis Tayor

We received the news of the death of our former member Comrade Taylor William Agofugha who hailed from Ogbe-Ijoh with a rude shock.

We were all jubilating when we read on the news that Aladja and Ogbe_Ijoh communities had signed a peace pack and that final peace has returned to the once troubled area a week ago.

We are still in the dark, as we are yet to imagine what nature of peace Accord both communities had signed?

Comrade Taylor was slain at the noon day on 15th October, 2019 at his house behind Warri Southwest Secretariat in Ogbe-Ijoh town.

He was attacked and shot death while he was reportedly doing some maintenance works in his compound.

The invading militia youths who short him death was identified as Aladja youths by Ogbe-Ijoh community.

The dead of Taylor is irreparable loss, and a big blow to IPDI and Ijaw nation.

Late Taylor was one time APC councilor candidate and ADC candidate for Delta State House of assembly of Warri South West LGA.

We have lost a rare gem, a bread winner of his family. We pray God to give us and his immediate family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

We call on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa ,the CO 3battallion, Nigerian Navy and Commissioner of police ,Delta State to fish out the perpetrators and made them to face the music of the law without a further delay for the interest of peace in the state.

However, we'll greatly missed late Taylor and his services to mankind. May his gentle soul rest in peace, Amen.

Signed:

Comr. Emma Keneware,
Acting Secretary
Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI.
