Aftermath ban on CDA, one killed, three injured in Edo community

The agrarian community of Ubiaza in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State is sitting on the edge as the elders of the community on Monday alleged that one person was reportedly killed and three others sustained gunshot injuries, following a resurgence of activities of the banned Community Development Association (CDA) in the locality.

Addressing journalists in Benin City, the acting Odionwere of the community, Pa Joe Osaheni, said trouble started ever since the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, placed a ban on the activities of the CDAs in the various communities in the Benin Kingdom.

Pa Osaheni who gave the name of the dead person as Isaac Onoriode, said his body was still lying in the morgue, while the three others were receiving treatment for gun wounds.

The acting Odionwere also alleged that one Osabuohen Osagiede Uhunmwangho (aka Crisis General), mastermind the invasion that has led to the destruction of their property worth millions of naira and their ‘Ogua-edion’, forcing them (elders of the community) to flee the community.

“The elders and some of the indigenes of Ubiaza Community have run away from home following the marauding gang led by Osabuohen Osagiede Uhunmwangho (aka Crisis General) orchestrated by him to invade and destroy property worth millions of naira and Ogua-edion of the community for the sake to take over, sell and take control of the land of Ubiaza Community with impunity at the expense of the people”, he said.

He, therefore, appealed to Governor Godwin Obaseki, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Philip Ogbadu, and the Director of DSS to come to their rescue before more lives are lost in the community.

Responding to the allegation, Osagiede Uhunmwangho, said he is neither from the community nor reside there.

He said he had no knowledge of the issue being raised by the community people, adding that were bent on tarnishing his hard-earned reputation.

Meanwhile, spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Bello Kontongs, when contacted, said that he was yet to be briefed about the activities currently going on at the said community.
