At least 10 Indigines of Igbomotoru Have Been Killed – Daniel-Ofongo | Ughere | Oshoma
The narrative paddled around that the Igbomotoru community is being invaded by soldiers is false. The military only burnt down the hideout of the suspects. Igbomotoru is peaceful

Talking about the right of people without talking about their responsibilities is unfortunate. Most these people that talk about the rights of the citizens are benefiting from the criminal act of these thieves.
This Daniel is one of the wrong politician in he knows that his not saying the truth in the matter….
Please where are they protecting people in that country called Nigeria is only the big people in the country mad people…
Nothing good will ever comes out Rufai month it always about his own ego and imagination. Nonsense
Ofongo you are indeed trouble..you think the Army will save you….many months from now the army would be gone and you would be left with angry youths
Nigeria Press is another failed apparatus. Arise, Channels, TVC and the print media are not professional press organisations as they are pretending to be one. These mentioned organisations are supposed to be scrapped. Journalism is supposed to be investigative and your various correspondence were supposed to go over and uncover the truth.
EVIL AND CORRUPT MILITARY!
Please justice for the Innocents
I really pity the Nigerians.
All this Miscreants that called themselves honourables are all mischievous themselves.
Oil government are stilling individual are also stilling,when criminals are looking for criminals
What a country
E. K. Clerks House has been raided by the military Hierarchy's ordered from above
Sheriff is talking rubbish why is he afrid to say the truth why is he not talking about tompolo who is using the army to opresss the okuama community
Henry Daniel-Ofongo is one of those using military to oppress his people for survival. A man elected to represent his people don't care if they die. He is living in Abuja and making calls.
…I made call this morning…
…I call….
..I calll…
Criminal elected to represent his people?
What is the work of our police force?
Was the governor aware of this peace keeping mission? What part did him play?
Disgraceful acts by the military. shameless national assembly
I HAVE NOTICED HOW EASY IT IS TO FIND EXCUSES FOR CRIMES WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE MILITARY. THE HANDS OF THE MILITARY WHILE CRIMINALS OPERATE WITH IMMUNITY
If terrorists are willing to attack the military, why are people saying that it should have been the police and not the military? The problem is not about the security forces, but it's about acts of terror against civilians. Why not argue about the reality of the matter
From where I stand, this kind of unrest will continue to eternity, due to tribal and religious divides.
I do not know how can there be an independent commission while criminals are still at large and people are been starved. This is an emergency to try and save lives
RUFAI IS BEING BIAS WITH THE HONOUR , WHENEVER ELDERLY AND ELITES FAIL TO CORRECT THE UP COMING GENERATION AND USE THEM FOR POLITICAL GAINS . ITS ALWAYS BACKFIRE CHAOS ON THE RULING CLASS AND PEOPLE OF THE LAND.eg HAITI
I just wish laws will be made that all this senators and house of reps members will be made to live in their constituency and no were else.
This governor is a mumu man!
He's not fit at all.
If you believe Nigerian military, it means you dont have your head working ..your brain has damaged ..these guys are so corrupt and their records for dehumanising the souths can never be forgotten, i know time would come that the table would turn, and that time is nearby ..
Thanks for the question? Mr Rufai. Ofongo his not leader mean is liars. This what they do. You're the killing for now you're I here and you account number of killed.
No governor in Delta ,his rules by people. Looks at ofongo this is leader will can see. Nigeria liars maters. Hold the governor for those action.
Nigeria is a country without justice and fairness , the truth would never come out this crisis it would end up like #ENDSARS# LEKKI military massacres
This crisis is all about OIL WAR and corruption
This Mr Daniel is a big fool, imagine how he is embarrassing himself. Rufai God will continue to give you the wisdom to disgrace sycophants like mumu Daniel Ofongo
May God continue to bless you Oseni Rufai for ur style of journalism, always standing in the way of truth. I hate when a sycophant is called for an interview of this nature. Thousands of soldiers has been killed in core North and none of those communities in the North has been attacked or razed by the military. This is Fulani conquest a play.
THE REAL CAUSE OF THE CRISES AT OKUOMA COMMUNITY IN UGHELLI SOUTH L.G.A OF DELTA THAT LED TO MILITARY INVASION.
Okuoma community is an Urhobo community in Ughelli south L.G.A located along the Forcados River. It shares boundaries with Akugbene and Okoloba communities, and both are Izon (Ijaw) speaking communities, located in Bomadi L.G.A of Delta State. Both communities have lived together peacefully for over 3 centuries now. Okuoma community is in Ewu-urphie clan of the Urhobo tribe of Delta State.
Their major occupation is farming and fishing.
There are other Urhobo communities along the Forcados River who all share boundary with the Izon speaking communities. They are also follows: Gbaregolor, Okuoma, Olota, Alagbabiri communities e.tc., all these communities are in Ughelli South L.G.A and they all share boundaries with the Izon speaking communities. These communities have lived with the Izon speaking communities for several centuries. They have had intermarriages, inter trades, among themselves for some centuries. We have several families who are from both tribes (Urhobo and Ijaw). In the olden days, for you to be crowned a king in Izon land, you must have your maternal root from the Urhobos. I don't know if that tradition is still in practice. I know some few Kings whose that maternal roots are from the Urhobo tribe, e.g. HRM Oporomor Godspower of Bomadi town (Ijaw community) in Bomadi L.G.A. He had his maternal root from Gbaregolor community (Urhobo community) which is located along the Forcados River. His Royal Highness, king of Akugbene community (Ijaw town) has his maternal root from Okuoma community (Urhobo town). The king of Akugbene community influenced some developments in Okuoma, like construction of jetty at the waterfront of Okuoma, e.t.c. These people (Urhobos and Ijaws) are one people because they are related by blood or marriage in one way or another. Mr. Barrister Smooth, a famous Ijaw singer once said in his song "When you come to my house you can't separate Ijaw man from Urhobo man because they all live together as one." We are one people.
Back to the main issue;
Okuoma community had land dispute with their neighboring community Okoloba over common boundary. The land dispute has been lingering for quite a long time now. At the boundary side of Okoloba community there is a white mansion, this mansion belongs to a warlord, Chief Patrick Akpobolokemi, head of the Egbesu Shrine – a man known to be a right-hand man to Mr. Government Tompolo.
Okoloba community have always claimed ownership of the land on which the Okuoma community is located, they always say the "Okuoma inhabitants are their tenants".
If you recall, I earlier said there is a mansion at boundary of both communities, this mansion is owned by a warlord from Okoloba (Ijaw community) this man is so influential and he owns a shrine in this mansion where he practices human sacrifices as rituals in worshipping his war god; Egbesu. Last month February, this man armed his boys and attacked a commercial boat conveying some Okuoma community boys namely Igho and co. These boys were all murdered by this warlord and he labeled them criminals. He wrote to JTF (Joint Task Force) that they were criminals. Remember, I told you that he is Tompolo's right-hand man He is so influential and connected that whatsoever he tells the JTF is what they accept, because his boss Tompolo owns Tantita Security Forces and they control the creeks. This act alone triggered the grievance of the Okuoma community. When this warlord's gang want to carry these crimes, they put on army camouflage so it's difficult to differentiate genuine Army personnel from these hoodlums.
Last week, a man named Anthony Aboh from Okoloba community went missing, his relation from Okoloba community, an Honorable member, believed that It was the Okuoma community that kidnapped him to retaliate for the attack which was carried out on the Okuoma community boys, so they reported the issue to the Bomadi JTF. Just before he reported, the body of the alleged kidnapped man was discovered floating on River Forcados at Ayakoromor community. His hands were tied and he had been beheaded (that was the picture displayed on Social Media with the fallen soldiers body). This annoyed the Okoloba community so much, the Honorable and some delegates from the Okoloba reported to JTF, which then proceeded to Okuoma community on March 14th, 2024 with some soldiers in company of the Honorable. On reaching there, they met with the chairman and elders of the community in their town hall and they brought up the case of the kidnapped beheaded man with the community leaders. The chairman and elders all denied saying they know nothing of such case, which made the soldiers ask the elders and community leaders to lie on the floor. The Army then insisted on arresting the community leaders and that was where the crises erupted from. The information got to the youths that fake soldiers have come to terrorize the community again, and when they turned up there was argument between the Army and community youths. The Army released some gun shots, leading to a full blown war between the youths and the Army because they believed they were fake soldiers. They were killed in error, it is a case of mistaken identity.
The people of Okuoma where soldiers were killed were attacked by Ijaws (Okoloba warlord) and they suffered casualties, mind you when this warlord carried out the dastardly act they wore Army camouflage.
Within the same week, on sighting men in uniform again in the Okuoma community they believed they were the same set of Ijaws warriors from Okoloba again and retaliated, killing all of them not knowing that they were real soldiers……
My fellow Nigerians this is the real cause of the crises. March 15th, Okuoma was raided and razed down by Nigeria Army because of the death about 16 fallen soldiers, women, children, and aged men weren't spared, but funny enough the actual perpetrators have since fled the community leaving those who are either too old, too weak, too sick, too young, or too innocent to flee. Till now, there's still crying, gnashing of teeth, and blood flow around the Forcados River axis. On March 17th yesterday the Army stormed the white mansion at the border after gathering intelligence, on reaching there, they were amazed at what they discovered in the shrine at the white mansion. This mansion is situated at the River bank; they discovered fresh and dried human skulls of innocent people who were used by this warlord as sacrifices for his god (Egbesu). Angered, the Nigerian Army burned down the mansion. Some fake soldiers were also arrested in the mansion. This is the true story of what happened that has claimed so many lives including the lives of a Lt. Colonel, 2 Majors, a Captain, and 12 soldiers, all men of the Nigeria Armed Forces…. Man's wickedness to man. God save our souls.
There always too sides to every story, President Tinubu head only one side of the story and granted the Army as Commander in Chief to raze Okuoma.
Next day the Army discovers the true story of Patrick Akpobolokemi and like mad dogs they killing and burning 🔥.
This is the crude Nigerian for you.
Imagine even the governor is afraid of the military 😅😅 people have no respect for military again because nigeria govt have misused our soldiers, even soldiers are doing joint patrol with police stopping people on the road collecting money and other atrocities the worse is that more soldiers have in the North than what happened in Delta but they would not tell us the truth and FG is still playing gamble with soldiers as if they are not human being , soldiers should go back to baracks so that they can have some respect
This comedy channel should have their license revoked! Never seen a bunch of clowns masquerading as journalists gather in one place than this yeye partisan TV channel. They always like to counter facts with conjecture and innuendos. The fact is a number of the armed forces were murdered in cold blood, what is so difficult to grasp?
The Nigerian politicians creat these militants in the first place,the politicians use them to win elections and here are the after effects of what the politicians created.
He is after the ten people from his community not other Nigerians.
Shameless old man
Blessed Ughere kudos to you. A true leader of the Urhobo people 👏👏
Rufai is a professional journalist no doubt about that!
God help Nigeria out of this problems in our country and our communities.
They killed ten innocent civilians for no reason. What nonsense! A country that has no value for lives. How do we even substantiate that the military were there for peace keeping? We know certain people often pay soldiers to intimidate a perceived opponent or enemy when quarrel arises
Making calls he says! Can u imagine this guy
What a foolish question…why were they there …is that not part of their land?….u are part of the community and u stay in lagos or other part of the country and make statements u can not confirm… saying all kind of stories u cant confirm.what kind of country is this
I don't hear this from Northern governors
What is the business of soldiers fighting against local community touts, disputes or whatever in their country's local communities?
Who made them peace keepers in village disputes?
What is the job of the police?
What is the work of traditional leaders?
They should go and face heavily armed Terrorist and bandicts in the North.
just 10 people. oh my God just 10 people. human life is just noting in Nigeria oh oh God. we are in problems ,in this country coll Nigeria .how con 10 human beings died this man he is saying just. I am so sorry of this. for this people.
The King has lost his crown. There is no doubts that the King spoke under duress.
