Voke Ubuara, the Delta State Public Relations Officer for the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, expressed regret over the event.

He claimed that criminals in the town had found it impossible to use the waterways under Asikolo’s jurisdiction for the previous six to seven years.

“Before, when criminals operate in the town, the waterway was an easy escape route, but Asikolo when he assumed office became a stumbling block to that arrangement.

“We will partner with the police to see how we can fish out his killers,” he added.
