Afea Bori, interintense fear and tension, highlighting a terrifying surge

6
00:00:20,839 –> 00:00:24,199
in local insecurity as this victim is the youngest widow

7
00:00:24,239 –> 00:00:28,640
of the respected Obori family patriarch retired soldier and former

8
00:00:28,719 –> 00:00:33,960
Unabrogodo of Ohaafe High Chief William Boye Agbakanyabori, who was

9
00:00:34,000 –> 00:00:37,759
born on February second, nineteen forty two and passed away

10
00:00:37,759 –> 00:00:41,039
from a heart attack at age seventy six on July eleventh,

11
00:00:41,159 –> 00:00:45,600
twenty eighteen, leaving behind his wives, Missus Elizabeth and omot

12
00:00:45,679 –> 00:00:50,479
Siri Syriana Bori, alongside nine children and eighteen grandchildren. While

13
00:00:50,479 –> 00:00:54,960
her father, Chief Lucky Ben recently confirmed exclusively to Ossi

14
00:00:55,000 –> 00:00:59,799
Zuwakonedoknews Media that his daughter is currently forty years old,

15
00:01:00,320 –> 00:01:05,120
which clarifies historical timelines and corrects past social media rumours

16
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:09,040
by establishing that she was approximately thirty two years old

17
00:01:09,159 –> 00:01:13,000
when her high profile traditional wedding ceremony was celebrated in

18
00:01:13,120 –> 00:01:18,239
Oharefe on Saturday March seventeen, twenty eighteen, just four months

19
00:01:18,280 –> 00:01:22,480
before her husband’s demise. Meaning this high profile abduction has

20
00:01:22,519 –> 00:01:26,640
severely worsened local anxiety by coming on the heels of

21
00:01:26,680 –> 00:01:30,959
another recent violent incident in Ogara where local farmer mister

22
00:01:31,120 –> 00:01:34,120
Vincent A Dodger was brutally murdered on his farm and

23
00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:38,400
his wife kidnapped for ransom, forcing Ethio West Local Government

25
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:47,319
security crackdown as terrified residents demand urgent, decisive tactical intervention

26
00:01:47,519 –> 00:01:50,480
from the police command to halt the growing criminal epidemic.

27
00:01:51,280 –> 00:01:55,519
Close family sources confirmed to our correspondent that the victims,

28
00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:59,079
the wife of the late High Chief WILLIAMS Boye Agukana Bori,

29
00:01:59,200 –> 00:02:02,959
and their seven year old son, William Zabori Junior, were

30
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:06,640
intercepted last week Wednesday and bundled away by kidnappers on

31
00:02:06,680 –> 00:02:10,240
their way to Ogara. The victims have now spent nine

32
00:02:10,280 –> 00:02:15,199
agonizing days in captivity. According to insider family sources, The

33
00:02:15,240 –> 00:02:18,680
criminal ring initially demanded a staggering one hundred and fifty

34
00:02:18,719 –> 00:02:24,479
million niras ransom for their release. However, following frantic negotiations,

35
00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:29,360
the kidnappers slashed the demands to five million nirahs. Despairing

36
00:02:29,439 –> 00:02:32,599
relatives revealed that the family is still struggling to raise

37
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:35,479
the five million niras sum to secure the freedom of

38
00:02:35,520 –> 00:02:39,280
the mother and child. The late husband of the abducted woman,

39
00:02:39,680 –> 00:02:43,840
High Chief williams Obori, was the revered Hona Brogodo traditional

40
00:02:43,879 –> 00:02:48,560
spokesman of Ohrefe in the Ogara Kingdom, a retired soldier

41
00:02:48,599 –> 00:02:51,280
and a member of the Delta State Advisory and Peace

42
00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:55,840
Building Council, he passed away in twenty eighteen. This direct

43
00:02:55,840 –> 00:02:59,560
attack on his immediate family underscores a dangerous breakdown of

secure in the ethiop West Local Government Area spare heading

45
00:03:03,919 –> 00:03:07,639
fear that no one is safe. Just days ago, on

46
00:03:07,719 –> 00:03:11,400
Monday June twenty ninth, twenty twenty six, a brutal attack

47
00:03:11,439 –> 00:03:15,360
occurred on a farm in O’Gara. A local farmer, mister

48
00:03:15,479 –> 00:03:18,879
Vincent a Dodger, was ambushed and brutally murdered by armed

49
00:03:18,919 –> 00:03:21,879
assailants between three p m and four p m while

50
00:03:21,919 –> 00:03:25,879
working on his land. The attackers butchered mister a Dodger

51
00:03:25,879 –> 00:03:28,960
on the spot before forcefully carting away his wife into

52
00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:32,879
the forest. The community was thrown into panic, with the

53
00:03:32,879 –> 00:03:37,280
deceased body deposited at a local morgue. After intense trauma

54
00:03:37,319 –> 00:03:41,479
and the emergency payment of an undisclosed ransom by desperate relatives,

55
00:03:41,840 –> 00:03:45,560
Missus A Dodger was finally released by her captors. In

56
00:03:45,599 –> 00:03:50,680
response to the rapidly deteriorating security situation, the Executive Chairman

57
00:03:50,719 –> 00:03:55,360
of Ethioke West Local Government Council, Honorable Chris Honiper, led

58
00:03:55,400 –> 00:03:58,000

00:04:06,039 –> 00:04:10,960
Honorable Felix Heggimayoma, vowing an aggressive crackdown on the kidnapping

62
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:16,240
syndicates operating within the axis. Onigba condemned the incidents as

63
00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:20,000
completely unacceptable. It is a painful loss that no family

64
00:04:20,079 –> 00:04:23,920
should have to endure. Onigba stated during the visit, we

65
00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:27,800
will deploy every lawful means within our authority to combat

66
00:04:27,879 –> 00:04:31,720
kidnapping and other criminal activities. Threatening the peace and security

67
00:04:31,800 –> 00:04:35,839
of our communities. Insecurity will not be allowed to thrive

68
00:04:35,920 –> 00:04:39,800
in any part of this local government. The Chairman disclosed

69
00:04:39,839 –> 00:04:43,519
that all relevant security agencies have been explicitly ordered to

70
00:04:43,560 –> 00:04:48,439
intensify field investigations, fish out the perpetrators and bring them

71
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:52,480
to justice. He also appealed to tense residents to avoid

72
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:55,920
taking the law into their hands, reassuring the public that

73
00:04:55,959 –> 00:04:59,000
the Council is working around the clock to restore lasting

74
00:04:59,120 –> 00:05:02,959
law and order. As the nine day countdown continues for

75
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,759
the captive sister in law and young nephew of former

76
00:05:05,800 –> 00:05:09,759
Governor Aboori, community leaders and residents are urgently calling on

77
00:05:09,839 –> 00:05:13,360
the Delta State Police Command to deploy tactical squads to

78
00:05:13,399 –> 00:05:16,639
flush out the criminal elements hiding in the border forests

79
00:05:16,639 –> 00:05:20,439
of O’Gara. Efforts to reach the Delta State Police Public

Relations Officer p p R s P bright Edife for

81
00:05:25,240 –> 00:05:28,959
official comment on the incident proved abortive as multiple phone

82
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:32,360
calls went unanswered and a detailed inquiry message sent to

83
00:05:32,399 –> 00:05:34,399
his desk as yet to be replied or at the

84
00:05:34,439 –> 00:05:38,079
time of filing this report. In a swift reaction to

85
00:05:38,120 –> 00:05:42,439
the deteriorating safety situation in the region. A prominent socio

86
00:05:42,519 –> 00:05:47,160
cultural advocacy group, the Ogara Study Group o SG, has

87
00:05:47,240 –> 00:05:51,199
expressed profound grief and outrage over what it termine alarming

88
00:05:51,279 –> 00:05:56,199
deterioration of security across the kingdom. In an official press

89
00:05:56,240 –> 00:06:00,199
statement released on Wednesday, July first, twenty twenty six, the

90
00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:03,040
group noted that the recent abduction of a local couple,

91
00:06:03,399 –> 00:06:05,959
which resulted in the brutal murder of the husband and

92
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:09,639
the ransom fueled release of his wife, has fully exposed

93
00:06:09,680 –> 00:06:15,240
the terrifying security vulnerability confronting local residents. The advocacy group

94
00:06:15,360 –> 00:06:18,920
emphasized that the violent ambush is not an isolated incident,

95
00:06:19,399 –> 00:06:22,560
warning that her Gara Kingdom is rapidly transforming into a

96
00:06:22,639 –> 00:06:27,639
volatile hotspot for co ordinated kidnappings, armed robberies, banditry and

97
00:06:27,759 –> 00:06:32,439
senseless killings. According to the leadership, this continuous wave of

98
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:38,519
criminality has severely paralyzed local socioeconomic activities, instilling constant fear

99
00:06:38,560 –> 00:06:42,439
in residence, forcing farmers to abandon their farm lands completely,

100
00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:47,879
and crippling businesses operating under persistent existential threats. Condemning the

101
00:06:47,959 –> 00:06:51,839
heinous acts of violence, the group extended its condolences to

102
00:06:51,879 –> 00:06:54,680
the family of the deceased farmer and sympathized with his

103
00:06:54,759 –> 00:06:59,480
surviving wife over her captivity trauma. Signed by prominent leaders

104
00:06:59,800 –> 00:07:04,079
Reverend David Yugolla and Professor of Generona Egwery, the statement

105
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:09,279
strongly asserted that criminality has no ethnic, religious or political justification,

106
00:07:09,680 –> 00:07:12,680
demanding that no criminal gang should be permitted to convert

107
00:07:12,720 –> 00:07:16,759
Ogara Kingdom into a safe haven for violent networks. To

108
00:07:16,879 –> 00:07:21,240
arrest the worsening crisis, the Ogara Study Group explicitly petitioned

109
00:07:21,240 –> 00:07:25,199
the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Delta State Government, the

110
00:07:25,839 –> 00:07:30,439
West Local Government Council, and all joint security forces including

111
00:07:30,480 –> 00:07:34,600
the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, the Department of

112
00:07:34,639 –> 00:07:39,000
State Services DSS, and the Civil Defense Corps to urgently

113
00:07:39,040 –> 00:07:44,439
deploy reinforced personnel, tactical intelligence assets, and surveillance technology to

114
00:07:44,480 –> 00:07:49,040
restore absolute peace to the territory. Specifically, the group urged

115
00:07:49,040 –> 00:07:53,160
the joint security authorities to launch aggressive field operations to

116
00:07:53,199 –> 00:07:58,480
dismantle hidden forest camps, increase armed patrols along major transit highways,

117
00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:03,519
rural farmlands and local waterways, and establish rapid response units.

118
00:08:04,279 –> 00:08:08,360
They further demanded a thorough, conclusive investigation into the recent

119
00:08:08,439 –> 00:08:12,879
abductions to ensure that every individual connected to the criminal

120
00:08:12,920 –> 00:08:17,319
network is identified and prosecuted under the law. The statement

121
00:08:17,399 –> 00:08:21,480
also called for the immediate strengthening of community policing frameworks,

122
00:08:21,879 –> 00:08:27,279
urging the Ogara traditional institution, youth groups, market associations and

123
00:08:27,399 –> 00:08:31,560
religious bodies to deepen their tactical cooperation with security agencies

124
00:08:31,600 –> 00:08:36,240
through lawful information sharing. While acknowledging the widespread anger and

125
00:08:36,320 –> 00:08:40,639
frustration boiling within the community, the group strictly cautioned local

126
00:08:40,679 –> 00:08:45,039
youth against resorting to mock justice, ethnic profiling or lawless

127
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:49,320
vigilante reprisals, maintaining that suspect tracking must rely purely on

128
00:08:49,399 –> 00:08:53,320
credible evidence and the rule of law. Concluding the briefing,

129
00:08:53,679 –> 00:08:57,159
the group declared this period a defining moment for the Kingdom,

130
00:08:57,399 –> 00:09:01,240
stating that protection of life remains the primary irresponsibility of

131
00:09:01,279 –> 00:09:05,159
government and that enough is enough. The leadership reaffirmed its

132
00:09:05,200 –> 00:09:09,559
commitment to actively engaging state actors until absolute public safety

133
00:09:09,639 –> 00:09:13,080
is restored, insisting that the security of Ogara must become

134
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:21,360
an immediate, non negotiable national priority. Possasuaron medi bringing you
