Ondo violence: Reps seek boundary demarcation, security to stop clashes

The House of Representatives is urging urgent action to halt escalating violence in parts of Ondo State's Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency. Alleged attacks by Itsekiri youths from Warri, Delta State, have left residents injured and homes destroyed. Rep. Donald Ojogo has called for the House Committee on Special Duties to collaborate with the National Boundary Commission to demarcate the disputed territory along the Ondo-Delta border.

The House also seeks deployment of security forces, including the Nigerian Army, Navy, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, to maintain order and protect the communities.
