Ejiofor sends SOS to DTSG over alleged land grabbing of Ubulu-Uku lands by Obi of Ogwashi-Uku ~ Truth Reporters
Less than a few hours after the youths and people of Ubulu okiti in Aniocha South , staged a peaceful protest to Government house , Asaba ,alleging land grabbing activities against the Obi of Ogwashi uku , Ifechukwude Okonjo, the Onishe of Ubulu Uku , a border town to Ogwashi Uku, Chief Emma Ejiofor , PhD, has sent a Save Our Souls ( SOS) to the Delta State government alleging same land grabbing activities on the embattled traditional ruler in Ubulu Uku ancestral lands.
The Onishe of Ubulu Uku kingdom , Chief Emma Ejiofor, PhD, has therefore alerted the state government to urgently call the embattled Obi of Ogwashi uku , to order , in order to avert an inevitable break down of law and order , that will ultimately snowball into bloodshed.
In a press release titled "Condemnation of Obi of Ogwashi uku actions" made available to the press and personally endorsed by Chief Emma Ejiofor , PhD , the Onishe of Ubulu Uku, ( for and on behalf of Ubulu communities under siege), the alleged attempts to annex neighbouring communities through territorial conquest by Obi lfechukwude Okonjo, clearly disregards centuries of peaceful coexistence and demonstrate a profound lack of understanding of democratic norms.
The statement continues: " The Obi,s claims are based on purported consent judgements using alleged forged documents, despite his family having no historical connection to the targeted lands. This blatant disregard for the rights and well being of the affected communities is unacceptable in the 21st century".
Continuing the statement said, " This behaviour invites communal strife and violence . We urge the Delta State government to intervene immediately to prevent potential bloodshed . The government should investigate these allegations, caution the Obi against further aggression , and direct security agencies to take appropriate action to protect the affected communities from the Obi,s wanton destruction of their property and crops . Such intervention is crucial to prevent a full blown conflict".
It will be recalled that recently, the Obi of Ogwashi uku , lfechukwude Okonjo, allegedly sent thugs , in tandem with armed security forces , to bulldoze Ubulu Uku lands in the Aniagbala farmlands , boundary with Ogwashi Uku, terrorizing indigenes of the area.
