ALADJA—ANOTHER round of crisis is looming between the Aladja Urhobo community in Udu Local Government Area and Ijaw community of Ogbe-Ijoh in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State over alleged harassment and toll collection by Urhobo youths from their Ijaw neighbours for plying the only access road to their community.

In a letter by the Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom Governing Council addressed to the state governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa by its chairman, Alex Akemotubo, they appealed to the governor to ensure that military checkpoints were stationed at strategic points on the only access road from Aladja to Ogbe-Ijoh as a temporary measure to forestall imminent break down of law and order in the area.

He charged the newly constituted Boundary Committee set up by the governor to quickly move into both communities to address the many years of boundary demarcation problem, saying that the excesses of the Aladja youths can no longer be tolerated.
