The chief priest of oil-rich Omadino Community in Warri South Council Area of Delta State, Mr. Roland Yomere has stated that they are living in perpetual fear of attack by some sponsored hoodlums who visited violence on some youths and also destroyed household properties worth millions of naira.

Mr.Yomere made this assertion at Omadino recently in an interview with newsmen appealing to the government at all levels and the security agencies should come to their aid to save their lives.

But Mr. Austin Oniyesan a.k.a Gbokwa alleged to be at the center of the crisis rocking the community said there’s peace in Omadino only that there’s power tussle for leadership that also exist in all communities.

Mr. Gbokwa also accused the military men of fomenting trouble in the community by destroying houses of innocent people.

According to the Chief Priest, the tenure of office of Mr. Oniyesan as since elapsed but he decline to hand over power and render account to the community but instead have organized militants and cult boys to harass youths and elders who dared to question him.

Though military presence was visible everywhere, Gbokwa said they have since left but a victim of the violence allegedly unleashed by one Mr. Niro Omaro, Mrs. Vivian Ebisin a.k.a whitehouse whose children were brutalized, laptop and cash carted away and household property destroyed maintained that she and her children were being victimized because they refused to support those fighting the entire community for selfish gains.

Two victims of the violence wrath by the sponsored hoodlums said they were framed up in an incident that happened at a hotel on a date and time they were not even around the vicinity but were brutalized in the presence of policemen and charged to court and finally granted bail.

According to one of them known as Oghenetegha Harrison, they were falsely accused of vandalizing a Lexus Jeep and
stabbing of one person at the said hotel saying they were macheted on the head and taken away in a police van.
