Mulade Warns Against Sale of Benikrukru Land Amid Dispute
By Admin
Warri, Delta State: Prominent peace advocate and development leader, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has urged the people of Benikrukru Community in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, to refrain from setting a harmful precedent by selling off community land.
Chief Mulade, the Ibe-Serimowei of Gbaramatu Kingdom, issued this caution over the weekend, addressing the leadership of the Benikrukru community, headed by Comrade Joel Tonjoh. He advised them to think carefully and avoid actions that could jeopardize the future of the community and the broader Gbaramatu Kingdom.
Mulade’s comments come in response to an alleged attempt by the Tonjoh-led administration to sell over 400 acres of community land. He described the move as suspicious, unpatriotic, and lacking any cultural or historical justification.
The environmental rights activist urged the Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Oboro Gbaraun II, as well as the elders of Benikrukru, to intervene and stop any attempt to sell off portions of the land. He argued that rather than selling, the community should support its own members who have the ability to attract investment and development to the area.
“I strongly encourage us to support any of our indigenes capable of bringing investors to Gbaramatu Kingdom, particularly to Benikrukru Community,” Mulade stated.
He further emphasized the importance of recognizing and appreciating individuals who have significantly contributed to the community’s growth. Without naming names, he noted that one particular individual should be given land as an equity contribution in support of their investment efforts, instead of allowing the land to be sold.
Mulade expressed concern that poverty or short-term gains should not drive the community to take actions that would harm its future. “We must avoid decisions that go against natural justice and fair play,” he said.
He also stressed that the land in Benikrukru belongs collectively to all sons and daughters of the community, who hold inalienable rights to it. He warned that any sale of land could lead to future conflicts and legal disputes.
In conclusion, Mulade reiterated his call for the community to contribute to development through equity contributions, instead of selling land. He also warned that any attempts to sell land through questionable deeds would be legally challenged.

By Favour Bibaikefie
Odimodi, Delta State – Relief and jubilation filled the air in Odimodi Town, Burutu Local Government Area today, as a missing farmer, Mama Kuluma Iyorakpo (Nee Bekewei), was reunited with her family after missing her way on her return trip from the farm yesterday. Mama Kuluma reportedly passed the night in the middle of nowhere in the deep Odimodi rain forest.
According to community sources, Mama Iyorakpo had gone to her farm on Tuesday morning but lost her way while attempting to return home after work. Her non-return at dusk sparked concerns and anxiety among family and neighbours who alerted the community leaders. Her overnight absence triggered the dispatch of search parties by the community hierarchy, which found her after many hours of tireless search, the morning hours of Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Mama Kuluma was visibly exhausted from endless efforts made trying to find her way, lack of proper rest, food, or water to drink.
Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the family, her son, Comrade Friday Millions Iyorakpo expressed gratitude to God for sparing his mothers life and commended the Odimodi Community for swiftly dispatching search parties who made tireless efforts to securely rescue his mother alive.
The incident has been described as a testament to God’s guiding and protective hands and the resolve of a people’s determination to save life with an enduring communal spirit.
