Residents in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State staged a protest due to the council chairman's failure to provide basic amenities. Demonstrators seized the official speedboat of council chairman, Mr. Julius Takeme, to emphasize their demands. They condemned the dire situation at the council's sole hospital, lacking doctors, nurses, and drugs, which led to daily deaths in the area.
Many residents also claimed to have died from a lack of water and drugs, despite significant budget allocations. The protesters expressed frustration that the council headquarters were in worse condition than the individual villages, with no electricity, water, or hospital. They demanded immediate intervention from the Delta State Government, calling for doctors, nurses, drugs, and water for their people.
An aide to the chairman mentioned that the chairman might be awaiting further instructions from Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
