Amai: The Federal Government has declared wanted one Ogbekene Kenneth Kevwe, a youth Activist in his mid-twenties from Amai Community in Ukwani Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to our correspondent based in Delta State, as the story was narrated to him revealed that the origin of the crises is dated back to May, 2011. The source said. Sometime in the middle of May when the broke out, so many people were killed in the boundary war Kenneth’s parents, Mr. & Mrs. Ogbekene were also killed and their family house also burnt down.
During the bloody crisis, Kenneth was said to have escaped to the nearby community after the massacre of the parents for his dear life. It was also revealed that he eventually came across a woman he eventually married in the community.
Again there was renewed hostility in early May, when the attackers from other warring communities violently swooped on Amai Community still on the boundary dispute. This time the Amai Youth leader was now searching for their surviving runaway youths that initially escaped to other nearby Communities to join in the resistance of the attacking enemies in the renewed war.
At this point, when the news got to Kenneth that they were combing the nearby peaceful communities for their youths, he being an orphan now as a result of the 2011 attack that claimed the lives of his parents and homeless as the family house was also burnt, he decided to escape again, now to an unknown destination.
The source also added that, as at the time of this final escape to an unknown destination, the woman he already put into the family way in the community he was hiding, was already pregnant for him.
However the law enforcement agents, the police and army succeeded in quelling the renewed hostilities and was not allowed to escalate this time, but not still without some casualties as some few lives were still lost before the arrival of the security men.
It would be recalled that when the boundary issue started brewing the late traditional ruler, Eze Monday Ossai (The Iguwete of Amal Kingdom) and his son, Mr. Harrison Ossai who was a councilor In Ukwani Local Government Council, two traditional Chiefs and one other person were earlier accused and arrested over the matter for fanning the embers of discord.
Ironically, the irate thugs from the opposite camps in the enemy communities have identified and noticed the active role in the earlier attack that claimed so many lives.
They have vowed to get him dead or alive and have since been trailing him day and night. He was last seen with his pregnant wife last week of April in a neighboring community, he was hiding before.
