The red soil of Oghara Kingdom, once celebrated as the welcoming “Gateway to Urhoboland,” is again soaked in blood.
On June 25, 2026, a husband and wife were abducted on the Otefe-Ovade Link Road. The husband was executed by his captors; the wife was released only after ransom was paid. For the Oghara Study Group (OSG), it was not an isolated tragedy. It was further evidence of a Delta State Government that speaks security in rhetoric but offers disenchantment in action.
In an outcry on July 2, OSG laid bare six months of verified attacks that have turned Oghara into a corridor of fear for residents.
Idle law, blind policing, dead citizens
