The people of Ogbe-Ijoh clan, Warri
South-West Local Government Area, Delta State,
under the aegis of Concerned Citizens of Ogbe-Ijoh
Clan, yesterday, said that the recent claim by the
president of Aladja community, Udu Local Government
Area of the state, that his people were not obstructing
the movement of building materials to Ogbe-Ijoh
through Aladja, was a blatant lie.
The body, in a statement by its coordinator, Friday
Deinghan, said: “Our attention has been drawn to
media report wherein the president of Aladja
community, Mr. Paulson Okobiebi, said that the people
of Aladja have been religiously obeying the peace
agreement entered into with the Delta State
Government and Ogbe-Ijoh community.
“They denied stopping movement of building materials
through Aladja to Ogbe-Ijoh. Instead, they alleged
that it was Ogbe-Ijoh people that have stopped Aladja
people from harvesting their crops.
“Mr. Okobiebi’s statement does not represent the
position on the ground. The truth is that the Aladja
people have permanently stopped movement of building
materials through Aladja to Ogbe-Ijoh and in some
cases, they have attacked visitors to Ogbe-Ijoh,
thereby, constituting obstacle to commerce and industry
to thrive in the area.”
