Suspected thugs, a team of police officers and men of the Nigerian army from the 19th Battalion have rained terror on Ekpan community in Koko, Warri North Local Government Area (LGA), Delta state, Sahara Reporters is reporting.

The thugs and security men were said to be working on the orders of the state governor, governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

The report said the attack was aimed at targeting supporters and loyalists of Henry Baro, the former Chairman of the Uvwie Local Government Council, who has been engaged in a political battle with Mr. Okowa and the State House of Assembly Speaker, Monday Igbuya.

Persons listed as those fueling the crisis are principal secretary to governor Okowa, Hillary Obi Ibegbulem, Warri North Constituency in the Delta state House Of Assembly member Michael Diden (alias “Ejele”), chairman of the Uvwie Council, Stella Dabunor Otiotio, and Delta state commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs Bright Edejevwrho.

“At all costs, the governor and his hatchet men want Baro’s supporters to go down. He is using his Principal Secretary Hillary Obi Ibegbulem to cause crisis in the Ekpan community. Governor Okowa is a big disappointment and a disgrace; he has failed to settle a crisis that was initiated between the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekpan before the last governor’s primary election in 2015,” an indigene was quoted.

The report said the terror attack was organized under the guise of an operation to apprehend illegal weapons.
