They were allegedly sacked from their ancestral home in 1995 during a communal clash with Aladja Community.

Leadership reports that the councilor representing Diebiri Ward in Warri South-west Council Area, Hon Frank M. Pukon said that if the state government went ahead with the commission of inquiry to settle the people of Ogbe Ijoh and Aladja people without first resettling them, they may be forced to look for other means to take back their ancestral home.

The councilor lamented that his people have been suffering since they were sacked by the Aladja people, claiming that government refused to listen to them and address their plight.

According to him, his people have written series of letters to the government without success.

Hon Pukon claimed that on May 25, 1995, the Diebiri Community was sacked by their neighbours, the Aladja people, in a fight that does not concern them.

He said since the invasion, the Delta State Government under the administration of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has gone ahead to set up a commission of enquiry into the land dispute between the people of Ogbe-Ijoh Community and Aladja Community without thinking of resettling the peope of Diebiri Kingdom
