GBARAMATU — Residents from several Ijaw communities in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State, on Monday staged protests at a number of oil flow stations over the non-implementation of a ward delineation exercise conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The protesters, including women, youths and community leaders from communities such as Diebiri, Ogbe-Ijoh, Egbema and Gbaramatu, gathered at several oil facilities carrying placards demanding the implementation of the delineation report.

Among the inscriptions on the placards were: “Implement Warri Delineation Report,” “Court-Ordered Judgment on Wards and Polling Units Delineation,” and “No Implementation, No Production.”
