We watched in horror as soldiers chasing oil thieves burnt our community – Ijansa residents

IT has been continuous weeping at Ijansa, an Ijaw fishing village in Warri South-West Government Area of Delta State, since December 23, last year, when some men in military uniform pursuing oil thieves allegedly set ablaze houses, money and other household items of residents.Quite disconcerting was the claim by the community Chairman, Mr. Albert Korebo, and other leaders that voter’s cards of the villagers, whose community is Ward 13 collation centre in the local government, were smouldered in the incident.
