The leaders of the Aladja Community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State today raised the alarm over a planned attack by the Ogbe-Ijoh people alleging that they(Ogbe-Ijoh people) have imported mercenaries to help them prosecute the agelong against them.
The community leaders, who spoke separately with Track News today, said because of the threats, many of their Indigenes have fled the town.
They claimed that the Ogbe-Ijoh people had also chased the military and policemen from their land to carry out the planned attack.
President of Aladja Community Council, ACC, Mr. She’ll Okakotu GodFirst, in a chat with our correspondent, said, ”We received series of calls from the riverine. Many of them advice us that we should prepare seriously.”
He noted that hoodlums loyal to two militant leaders in Rivers and Delta states had arrived for the war.
According to him, “Those are the threats they gave to us. Most of them who are friendly with our sons and daughters called them that they should carry their luggage and leave the town that any moment from now, they’re going to attack.”
GodFirst vowed that they would reciprocate any attack by any means God has given them. He said they no longer have confidence in the government, especially the military stationed in the area
