An unarmed man was allegedly killed by army officials following a communal clash in Delta. It was gathered that other victims were also shot dead by soldiers during the clash between Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja communities in Udu and Warri South-West Local Government Areas of Delta State.

The victims were allegedly killed by the soldiers sent there to stop the communal clash, according to reports.

The boundary dispute between Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja communities flared up again recently as the Ijaw community of Ogbe-Ijoh alleged that they were attacked by Aladja.

Chairman of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Ogbe-Ijoh clan, Smart Okosu, alleged that the Aladja militia launched an attack on Ogbe-Ijoh, and took away the Egbesu flags from the Ijaw controlled areas at about 11:00a.m.
