Ijaw youths recently staged a protest at the Warri Area Command, accusing Itsekiri youths—allegedly with the support of the police—of removing banners commemorating the 10th coronation anniversary of the Pere of Ogbe-Ijaw Warri Kingdom. The banners were reportedly taken down from strategic locations in Warri South.
This incident has further heightened tensions between the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic groups, who have a long history of disputes over land ownership and territorial boundaries in the Warri region. In response to the growing unrest, police and military forces have been deployed to maintain peace and prevent potential violence.
The Delta State Police Command confirmed that leaders from both ethnic groups have been invited to a peace meeting aimed at resolving the conflict and easing tensions.
Meanwhile, Chris and Chris have shared their thoughts on the unfolding situation.
