The entire Uvwie Kingdom in Uvwie Local Government Area Delta State, have staged a peaceful walk as a sign of victory as they have reclaimed their land from the Nigerian Army.
In his address, the Uvwie Monarch, His Royal Majesty, Emmanuel Ekemejewa Sideso, Abe I said, the Nigerian Army illegally encroached into their land and have been selling it to unsuspecting buyers. According to him, in the process, they(Army) did not only encroach into the villages in the Kingdom but destroyed their crops on their farmlands – the means of their livelihood just as he said, they threatened their lives.

The Royal Father however said, they(Uvwie Kingdom) towed the path of peace otherwise, it would have been crisis and the result would have been bloodshed adding, as Uvwie are known for peace, so also, they are known for trouble if stepped upon.
He said:” We decided to tow the path of peace if not, it would have been bloodshed. Uvwie is not a place you can toy with. Don’t tempt us otherwise, you will see the other side of Uvwie“
According to him, since they (Uvwie) tow the path of peace, they opted for the judiciary, being the last hope of the common man. He said by the judgement of the day, it showed that God Almighty is on their side as they have no people in the government but God and therefore wished the Judge who gave the judgement for the day,God’s blessings among others.
His words:”We don’t have people in the government but God and l pray for the Judge who presided over this judgement, God will bless her “
