We have been following the ongoing brutality and savagery with trepidation. It is not only a clear case of man’s inhumanity to man, it is repugnant in all ramifications and condemnable. We, therefore, condemn it in all ramifications.
While the alleged attack on military men is not and cannot be acceptable, the ongoing killing of innocent civilians and destruction of Ukuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta can never be justified. It has been tagged as “systematic ethnic cleansing” and is capable of escalating if immediate steps are not taken to diffuse tension.
On behalf of the leadership of Urhobo Progress Union youth wing worldwide, I therefore call on the Federal Government, Delta State Government, and all relevant authorities to immediately intervene in the ongoing senseless and baseless butchery, carnage, massacre, slaughter and ensure cessation of all forms of hostilities to enable our displaced innocent mothers and children to return to their homes.
All parties, stakeholders, and progressive authorities and organizations are encouraged to partner with the Delta State Government in resolving the conflict.
