Leaders representing the Ijaw, Itshekiri and Urhobo communities in Warri Federal Constituency meet with President Bola Tinubu and reach an agreement to end ongoing protests and the occupation of oil facilities. According to reports, the meeting follows Tinubu’s intervention aimed at easing tensions tied to INEC’s controversial constituency delineation exercise. After the intervention, leaders issue a joint position calling on protesters to withdraw from oil installations that they had occupied during the unrest. Premium Times reports that Ijaw and Urhobo leaders order protesters to leave the oil facilities, framing the action as part of efforts to resolve the dispute over the delineation. Vanguard reports a similar outcome, saying leaders of the factions involved in the constituency boundary disagreement—specifically Ijaw and Urhobo, with Itshekiri leaders included—agree to end the protests after the President’s intervention, with a jointly signed statement. Both accounts describe the steps being taken to de-escalate the situation in Warri and reduce disruptions linked to the dispute.
