Youths from the Okpara-Inland Community in Delta State allegedly set fire to the vehicles of their President-General, Esosuakpor Esq., and invaded his residence in a protest over the death of a young man. The violent incident erupted after the youths also torched vehicles belonging to the community's vigilante group. It was discovered that the deceased was killed by security forces during a community operation.
Protesting youths claimed the young man's death was connected to the community leadership's refusal to endorse a youth executive at the last community conference, and that they were also outraged by the exclusion of a parallel youth executive during the event. At the time of this report, police are present in the area to maintain order.
