The Ijaw People’s Development Initiative, IPDI, has condemned the killing of one Miss Sovereignty Iseregbe, a native of Isaba community in Warri South West Council by a vigilante in Ovwian community in Udu Council of Delta state.
The group in a statement by its National Secretary, Comrade Keneware Emmanuel demanded justice for the extra-judicial killing of Miss Sovereignty.

“Human life is sacred and sacrosanct, hence, for a security outfit to deliberately claim the live of an innocent civilian means that such security outfit is inexperienced, brutally tasty for blood and has no respect for human life,” Comrade Keneware stated.
The group seeks the Commissioner of Police in Delta State, Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa, to arrest, prosecute and disband the Ovwian Vigilante group with immediate effect.
“It’s very glaring that the untimely and the extrajudicial killing of miss Sovereignty Iseregbe is capable of fomenting crisis that could disrupt the peace moves between Aladja, Ogbe-Ijoh and Isaba communities.
The group urged the police boss to quickly disband the vigilante group, and the perpetrators be brought to book with immediate alacrity.
Miss Sovereignty was shot dead by two members of the Ovwian vigilante late into the night on Friday, November 13, 2020 following an altercation.
