Following the outbreak last week of inter-communal violence between Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh in Delta State over what appears to be land disputes, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the Senate, has appealed to all persons involved in the outbreak of hostilities to de-escalate the situation and embrace peace.

A statement by his office, yesterday,  said   “Senator Omo-Agege strongly believes that the historical bonds of brotherhood shared by our people in both Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh should be protected rather than strained by incessant challenges. He holds the firm view that violence and bloodshed do not resolve challenges but they rather compound them. He thinks that whatever the issues may be, ultimately they must be handled in civilised manners, particularly given the strong marital and filial ties between both communities.”
