…Appeal to Ondo, Delta govts over land dispute
By Dayo Johnson, Akure
Leaders and residents of 19 coastal and oil-rich communities in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State have raised the alarm over an alleged invasion of their ancestral land by armed persons from neighbouring communities in Delta State.
The communities, all located in Ugbo Kingdom, appealed to the Ondo State Government to urgently engage its Delta State counterpart to resolve the dispute before it escalates.
They warned that continued alleged incursions could provoke retaliation by youths in the affected communities.
