Upon entering Kokori community in Ethiope East local government Area of Delta State yesterday, one would think it was a Ghost Town. This follows an order by military personnels that the community market, shops and schools be closed over threat by Ijaw groups to attack the community if the kidnapped monarch was not released by Friday.

A source had earlier revealed that members of the group had visited the community two days ago to issue the ultimatum for release their traditional ruler, threatening to close down the community if the traditional ruler was not released. According to sources, the Ijaw monarch was on his way to see his herbalist when he was kidnapped. The source disclosed that the monarch has a longterm relationship with the herbalist.
