Palpable tension has engulfed the Ogulagha community in Delta State, following the killing of a young man, Endurance Oweiye Kalaepele, 27, who was allegedly shot twice by the military men attached to the Forcados Terminal in the area.
It was gathered that the incident happened on Monday, 27th June, 2022 at about 11pm.
According to youth president, ThankGod Iyaragba: “Around 10 pm yesterday, Monday, June 27, 2022, six of the community boys went to the bush behind Forcadoes Terminal, the Pipeline bush, for snail picking, but were intercepted on their way back by the military men. One of the boys, Endurance, tried to run out of fear but shot twice at close range.”
“This prompted the infuriated youths of the community to go on a rampage destroying company vehicles and property. They have also taken over the major roads in the community to express their anger,” he said.
The Police or Army are yet to arrive the scene.
