The lawmaker representing Khana/Gokana federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Honourable Dumnamene Robinson Dekor, has visited the feuding communities of Ogoniland; Luu-Sue and Zor-Sogho where he appealed for calm between members of the communities.
His move was based on claims and counterclaims of ‘unprovoked’ attacks against each other, the hostility between both communities in Khana Local Government Area, Rivers State, which escalated on the night of Wednesday, February 3, with an alleged killing of five persons and destruction of properties worth several millions of naira.
The incident had left the areas deserted prompting the federal legislator to move in swiftly to forestall the situation degenerating into full scale communal war.
