Delta community protests, alleges govt encroaching on land

The main entrance gate of Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State was on Monday morning forcefully sealed by some aggrieved members of the host community who were protesting against the alleged government’s encroachment on the communal land located behind the teaching hospital.
Consequently, the blockade resulted in preventing vehicles, workers and patients from going in or coming out of the hospital complex for several hours.
Our correspondent gathered that as early as 8am, the protesters, comprising mainly youths and some landlords in the community, had converged at the main gate of the teaching hospital, carrying placards with various inscriptions just as they sang solidarity songs in condemnation of the alleged takeover of their land by the authorities without compensation.
