Title Land Dispute, Delta
Description An armed gang believed to be land grabbers stormed a site to enforce an unauthorised quit notice, but met resistance and opened fire indiscriminately, inflicting gunshot wounds on three youths who later died. A traditional ruler, the Owelle of Onicha-Olona, Jerry Nkeeshe, and members of an armed group were declared wanted by the police. There were ethnic tensions because three Hausa men (Muhammed Multala, Kabiru Abdullahi and Yahaya), all in their early 20s, were killed by the armed land grabbers.
