Delta Govt Announces Intention To Demolish Commissioner’s House

The Delta State Government has marked the house of the Commissioner representing Isoko ethnic nationality at the Delta State Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), Victor Egbo, for demolition.

This development was revealed on Wednesday by the Director of Special Duties and Chairman of the Task Force on the removal of illegal structures and recovery of government land, Frank Omare, during the exercise in Ughelli, Delta State.

Omare warned that the Sheriff Oborevwori administration will take on anyone obstructing the exercise across the state.

He urged people in the state not to bribe anyone, as there would be no compromise.

According to him: “We have come to open the water blocked area because so many houses have blocked the water channels and glad to tell Deltans that one of the top government officials, Chief Victor Egbo is among the houses that would be brought down for the duration the exercise will last in Ughelli.

“I am glad that he knows the policy of government and if the house of Last Mugu will be brought down because it is built on the waterways, we are not going to spare anyone.

“The exercise has just begun and there are more swamp buggies that are coming and for the period the exercise is going to last, the people of Ughelli should cooperate as we will and cannot compromise.

“The governor of Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, a very focused man has given us the directives and we will adhere strictly to the directives and we will not compromise them.

“I am pleading with Ughelli people never to bribe anybody, we are not compromising so that the water that is coming would not further destroy our properties because times are hard.

“We are not going to victimise anybody just as some house owners have done to the state government by building their houses inside water canals in other to block the flow of water.”
