Two persons have been shot dead in a renewed clash over alleged control of revenue collection in Ughelli Main Market in Delta state.<\/p>\n

The clash, which was said to have occurred on Monday, was between Ekiugbo and Iwhreko communities in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the two communities have had a longstanding dispute over the market revenue collection rights.<\/p>\n

One of the victims, Onome, popularly known as Oyibo, was said to have been shot while collecting payments from petty traders at the Ughelli Main Market.<\/p>\n

The second victim, simply identified as Nathaniel, sustained severe bullet wounds and was rushed to the Ughelli Central Hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n

According to an eyewitness, \u201cOyibo was busy collecting levies when some unidentified men approached him. There was a brief commotion, and just as it seemed resolved, gunshots suddenly rang out.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople initially thought it was just fireworks, but then everyone started fleeing when they saw Oyibo\u2019s lifeless body by the former EcoBank area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident, the Chairman of Ughelli North LGA, Olorogun Jaro Egbo, assured of immediate intervention by security agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was informed that someone had been shot, so I promptly alerted the Area Commander and the local Army formation. They have since moved to secure the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy tomorrow, I hope to get a clearer picture and provide further updates. For now, we\u2019re prioritizing peace and have asked for police reinforcement to maintain order in the market,\u201d Egbo said<\/p>\n

However, Delta Police Command spokesman, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed one casualty.<\/p>\n
