Contrary to claims by the Delta state government that it has resolved the age long land dispute between Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh communities, a group, Aladja People’s Movement for Peace, yesterday, debunked the claims by the state government.

It threatened to seek legal redress in its bid to secure Aladja communal lands.

The group warned that the land dispute between Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh Communities in Udu and Warri South-West Local Government Areas in Delta State has not been resolved.

It vowed that the “forceful acquisition” of Aladja community land by the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration will not stand.

The groups’ coordinators, Mr Simon Sibitor and Mr Ejovwo Tietie who spoke with reporters, yesterday in Warri, expressed shock over claims by the government that the dispute has been resolved.

Sitibor warned, “it (Oborevwori administration) has only played into the hands of the Ijaw nation through the Aladja/Ogbe-Ijoh crisis.”

He maintained the disputed land belongs to the Aladja community, saying the government must be ready to kill all Aladja indigenes to forcefully acquire its land.
