In a condolence statement by UYLA’s National President, Olorogun (Amb) Samuel Onoriode Oghotomo (JP) and National Secretary, Olorogun (Dr) Augustine Ogheneovo Atiti assured the Ewu people of continuous support at this difficult time and called on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Bola Amed Tinubu to direct the military authority to release all the detained Ewu leaders unconditionally, especially since the Delta State government led by Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori was working towards restoring peace to the troubled Okuama community.
