  • The victims were identified as Macaulay Uku and another simply identified as Eguono. 
  • Uku, according to various sources, was shot early in the afternoon 

Two people were shot on Saturday at Okere Community in Delta State’s Warri Metropolis.

According to reports, security personnel who were allegedly members of the 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army shot the victims.

Macaulay Uku and Eguono were the names of the victims, respectively.

There are conflicting reports about when Uku was shot—some say early in the afternoon, while others say it happened after a fight between the youths and soldiers.

Although the cause of the latest crisis in the Itsekiri enclave of Warri was still shrouded in controversy, sources said it was connected to the visit to the enclave of the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III

“I don’t really know what happened but what we heard was that the Olu went to the shrine as part of his visit to Itsekiri communities.”

“One side said at the shrine he tried to dab olive oil but was resisted by youths of the community,” a local source said.

It was, however, not clear how soldiers were deployed to the community.

Brigadier General Sanusi Aliyu, Brigade Commander 63 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Asaba, could not be reached for comment.

Major A. E Kabara, the erstwhile Public Relations Officer of the Brigade, who was contacted, said he had been redeployed.

He further said a replacement was yet to be named.
