The leadership of Bomadi Urban Community in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State has reassured traders, particularly members of the Igbo business community, of improved security following a series of burglaries in the Bomadi-Overside commercial district.
Community chairman Famous Ebiare gave the assurance after reports that several shops, many owned by Igbo traders, were recently broken into.
Ebiare said the community would escalate the issue to the Bomadi Local Government Security Council and push for the establishment of vigilante posts to curb criminal activities.
He described Bomadi-Overside as a key commercial hub serving multiple riverine communities, stressing the need to protect businesses and livelihoods.
“We sympathize with affected traders and are taking decisive steps to address the situation,” he said.
Ebiare also clarified that the correct name of the area is Bomadi-Overside, not “Esenaebe,” and affirmed that Wareka-emi Osuobeni remains the duly elected chairman, dismissing claims of parallel leadership.
