Itsekiri women storm Delta Government House over fracas in Ugborodo.

The leader of the protesters, Chief Rita Ogbebor, urged Gov. Emmanuel Uduaghan to tell the people the truth about the recent unrest in the Ugborodo community.

Chief Ogbebor said that the women were worried about the various reports in the media that the community had been turned into a war zone.

The protesters also suggested the establishment of a police station in Ugborodo to maintain the law and order in the community.

In his response, Gov. Uduaghan said that there was a leadership tussle over who chaired the Ugborodo Community Trust in 2013.

He also noted that the disagreement was about which group would look after the USD16b Federal Government Gas City project in the community was the genesis of the crisis.

Gov. Uduaghan also disclosed that a naval base would be established in Ugborodo soon to ensure adequate security of life and property in the community.
