Palpable fear now rules Olojoba Close, Gana area of Sapele in Delta State after the political violence that erupted there on April 4, 2011. It was a day political thugs reportedly launched an attack on a DPP youth leader, Abel Izomare Oharuma generally known as Diplomat Oneki in his home at No. 2, Olojoba Close Gana, Sapele, Delta State.

Armed with sophisticated fire arms such as AK47, pump action guns and other dangerous weapons, they used same to destroy a Landrover Discovery Jeep, two salon cars, one commercial bus, two Pentium Laptop, and other valuable items valued at several millions of naira. Oharume, who is presently making moves to reach the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, said that all he wants is that election in the area should not be rigged. He also decried the alleged use of political thugs by PDP politicians to intimidate the electorate, saying: “They should stop unleashing terror on their perceived opponents in the name of politics”.

He further insisted that he is committed to the struggle for change in Delta State and is strongly appealling to the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to act to forestall a breakdown in law and order in the state.
