Abavo crises: ten dead, many injured ----- residents run for dear lives

Abavo crises: ten dead, many injured
----- residents run for dear lives

  A once peaceful farming community, Abavo in Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State was at the moment a shadow of itself as the community has been torn apart by crises.The crises which began on July 13, 2012 over a  kingship tussle between  King Uche Irenuma and Prince Sunday Ekhator, took a new twist as it claimed lives of some indigenes of the community leaving many injured.

    Our reporters who visited the community during the week escaped by the whiskers as the King Uche Irenuma supporters and Prince Sunday Ekhator supporters engaged each other in a fierce battle which unfortunately,left some indigenes of the community dead and the community in ruin.As a result of this many Abavo indigenes, particularly able bodied youths have fled the community.The crises since it started in 2012 have rendered the community useless as it was now a shadow of itself.
    Reacting to the recent crises, the executive governor of the state, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan said that the situation was under control as security agents who were deployed to the community have been directed to ensure the safety of lives and properties.The governor advised that while the crises last people should stay away from the community to avoid being killed by any of the warring groups.

   It was gathered that prominent youth leaders  in the community, Uche Ijebor, Miracle Osemeha, Francis Ikem,Richard Peace and Osabohine Marvelous have fled from the community and they could not be found for interview.The shocking part of the crises was that the police  working with the orders of King Uche Irenuma 11, dispersed and prevented students in secondary schools in the community from learning .The students were tear gas and a few of them who put up resistance were beaten up and arrested by the police. It was gathered that King Uche Irenuma turned against the students because he felt they were used as tools to fight him.This as a result our reporters were told the closure of secondary schools in Abavo and the running away of the students from Abavo. The most affected were in indigenes of Abavo who were murdered during the crises  and their properties, including cars burnt.
  However, the Delta State Governor,Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan while sympathizing the families of those who have lost their lives since the crises started said that it was regrettable that Abavo which was before 2012 a peaceful community has now been totally destroyed.He promised that all those behind the crises will face the wrath of the law.

Posted date is 27 June, 2015

  The Nigeria Police in Delta State, has declared a 19year indigene of Agbor kingdom in Delta State, Okoh Happy, wanted for his alleged involvement in homosexuality.

   This was made known in a publication released from the Police command on Thursday, June 18, 2015, naming the suspect, Happy, who is currently on the run, wanted.

    Ika Weekly gathered that the suspect committed the crime on Monday, June 15, 2015 at St. John's College, Alihagu Agbor, with his partner whose name was given as John Kelvin and presently in police custody.

Okoh Happy

   They were said to have been caught in the unholy act by the some community indigenes while Happy narrowly escaped  and his partner, Kelvin who was unlucky, was seriously beaten before handed over to the police.

    It was learnt from a reliable source that the police are working alongside the vigilante to fish out the suspect Happy. 

   "Homosexuality is a taboo, our customs and traditions forbids it. It is viewed as inhuman and alien to our conservative nation," the source said.

  It could be recalled that the Nigeria's former president, Goodluck Jonathan, had signed the national bill prohibiting guy practise (Homosexual) into law. The law forbids any cohabitation between persons of the same-sex sexual pertners and bans any "public show of same sex amorous relationship." Punishmenti to the  crime are severe, ranging from 10 to14 years in prison. This has also led dozens of homosexuals fled the country in recent times due to increase harrasment, arrests and violation of their human right.

   However, the Police command pledged to reward anyone with useful information to the whereabout of Okoh Happy.
