Ugborodo Community Management Committee, UCMC in Warri South - West Local Government Area, has called on the Department of State Services, DSS, the National Security Adviser, NSA and Chief of Defence Staff, to treat the December 20, 2025 murder of Emiko Onuwaje at Ogidigben, Ugborodo , as a matter of National security concern " involving organized crime, illegal arms and sabotage of state authority."

Fresh Angle International, can report that Secretary of Ugborodo Community Management Committee, UCMC, Mr. Eyengho S. Besidone, made the demand at Ogidigben, Ugborodo in Warri South - West Local Government Area of Delta State, Saturday January 10 during a media briefing. 

He claimed that the central figure in the violent activities at Ogidigben ( name withheld) who is a traditional chief, has continued to walk freely on the streets of Warri " untouched by law enforcement, regardless of several petitions written against him."

Eyengho, who read a press statement, he co -signed with the Chairman of Ugborodo Community Management Committee, Mr. Emmanuel Onuwaje, called on the Inspector - General of Police, to ensure the immediate arrest, investigation and prosecution of the said traditional chief and all his identified accomplices.

Whilst demanding immediate investigation into the alleged involvement of compromised security personnel and their command structures in the gruesome murder of Emiko Onuwaje, the Ugborodo leadership, called for protection of witnesses and community members " facing threats and intimidation."

The Ugborodo Community Scribe, alleged that since the murder of Emiko Onuwaje, members of a " criminal group" have openly threatened to inflict further harm on Ugborodo residents, " repeatedly boasting that the matter is settled, nothing will happen" claiming an indigenous top security official of Delta State government, is behind the boast.

" We have observed with grave worry that certain individuals are deliberately attempting to manipulate, dilute and mischaracterize this case, presenting it as a miscarriage of justice, rather than the cold - blooded murder that it clearly is.

" This deliberate distortion, is dangerous. It emboldens criminals, erodes public confidence in the justice system and sends the wrong signal to our community, already under pressure of future attack," Eyengho, laments.

In an interview, prominent Ugborodo Indigene, Chief Ayirimi Emami, stated that some highly placed persons were going to Abuja and other places to make sure that suspects in Emiko's murder, escape justice.

Whilst stating that he will never support killing of innocent Itsekiris, Chief Emami, disclosed that his surveillance security company, had written series of petition regarding alleged illegal bunkering activities of one Okpeyo in Ogidigben, but all efforts to arrest the situation, have been resisted.
