The Ozoro Youth Assembly, today 12th of January, 2026, has staged a peaceful protest across the streets of Ozoro Kingdom demanding an end to the persistent electricity blackout affecting the headquarters of Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The youths under the leadership of Comrade Marvis Ogbu Omanudhowho with various inscriptions on placards and chanting slogans, called on local authorities and relevant utility providers to address the ongoing power outage, which has significantly disrupted daily activities, education, and small scale businesses in the area.
The Youth Assembly and his Executive Council, voiced their concerns on the urgent need for regular electricity in Ozoro Kingdom.
They emphasized that the protest was not just about electricity but also a broader call for better infrastructure and community development.

Some of the residents of Ozoro Kingdom who spoke in anonymity praised the youth body for their disciplined approach, noting that the demonstration sent a strong message without resorting to violence or destruction of property.
The assembly concluded the protest with a commitment to continue the advocacy until the community’s electricity needs are adequately met.
Despite their frustrations over the prolonged electricity blackout, the peaceful protest was orderly and non-violent, highlighting the community’s determination to demand accountability through peaceful means.
