UPDATED: Delta Journalists Retract Defamation Story Against Sam Ogri

In October 14, 2019, the Journalists ran a story about the oil crisis in Uzere community in which one Sam Ogrih was allegedly accused of funding and sponsoring some armed Uzere community youths who styled themselves as “Freedom Fighters” and had unleashed mayhem on the community.

Our Apologies: The two Journalists regretted the publication after re-examing the facts of the story and hereby apologize to Sam Ogri for any inconveniences the story may have caused his reputation. The story was Not intentional and it’s deeply regretted. The general public to take notice.
