Gbaramatu  - Ijaw Leaders Allegedly Order Kidnap Of  Top  Executives Of  Ugborodo  Youth Body

The Chairman (Mayomi Ololo Abeson), General Secretary (Adeyemi Tobi) and PRO (Glory Macaully) of the Ijaghala Community branch of the Ugborodo Community National Youth body, have been kidnapped from the community by armed people, allegedly from Gbaramatu-Ijaw, taken to Oporoza and locked up in an illegal prison, purportedly on the instruction of Gbaramatu leaders! 

Fresh Angle International understands that the incident happened  Saturday, July 25 and all efforts to reach the trio have been impossible, as their phones are unreachable.

When contacted, one of the leaders of Ijaghala community and Ugborodo federated communities, Alex Eyengho, said "the action is shocking, oppresive, intimidating and unbelievable in a 21st century Delta State and Nigeria."

According to Eyengho, "this is a further confirmation that indeed, private and illegal prisons are being operated in Oporoza, headqarters of Gbaramatu-Ijaw. This is unacceptable. The relevant security agencies should swing into action immediately to ensure the security and the safety of the kidnapped Ijaghala/Ugborodo Community youth executives. This is totally unacceptable, to say the least. Nothing should happen to the trio. Indeed, steps shall be taking within the ambit of the laws of Nigeria to address this brazen act of intimidation!"

It would be recalled that there have been allegations in the public space that private and illegal prisons are currently operating in Oporaza, with a view to intimidating anyone opposed to the sinister Gbaramatu-Ijaw agenda being orchestrated by the leadership." 

As at the time of this report, all efforts to get response from key Gbaramatu-Ijaw leaders, proved abortive.
