Former militants in the Arogbo Ijaw Kingdom in Ondo State’s Ese-odo LGA who surrendered their rifles and ammunition through the Ondo State Government’s Amnesty Programme in 2017 claim the government has broken their agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Felix Ayeuyen aka Jakun of Iroko camp; 08060071169 stated that Hon. Agabra Ikoito Atili (IK), the Deputy APC State Chairman and Commissioner for Osopadec, betrayed trust of leadership into a deep oceanic river and concomitant of Concord with one Mr. Sam Loko, an Ese-odo LGA Health Consultant, and other puny ex-militants who also surrendere We cannot enable one of the political leaders we elected to use our sweats and favor others by folding our powerful hands of sighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We shall lock down Governor’s Office until the issue is addressed,” said General Kenneth Mefun aka Mopol of Binimo-Biyomoh Camp; 09041738558, 09152513170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ondo State, the Osopadec office has become a weapon in the hands of one tribe and nepotism leaders in our region. Following that, I hereby vote no confidence in Hon. Donald Ojogo, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, and Hon. Williams Ebimodenghan, former Special Adviser to the Governor on Niger Delta Affairs, for their hasty character determinations, which will inevitably lead to their deplorable failure in future elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ex-agitators, dressed in black and white and ready to storm the Governor’s Office in Alagbaka, Akure, at 8 a.m. the following week, blocked the road and prevented vehicles from passing through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General David Eddy, aka Ijebu of Amafini-iba camp; 08111532213, has appealed to the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, the Secretary to the State Government, the State Chief Security Adviser, the Director of the State Security Services, and others to intervene in our sufferings and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a notable Ex-militant leader, General Happy Young TK Mightyjor of Festac face 2 Camp; 08087063179, \u201cWe shall protest until they see reasons to act appropriately by evenly distributing the benefits accruing to all the Ex- Militants in Ese-odo LGA like their counterparts in others were given.\u201d Calling only some set of puny ex-millitants leaders to done a meeting at Osopadec Office led by the Chairman, Hon. Otunba Sam Erejuwa would surely bring terrible battles in several corners of our Local Government and it would jeopardize huge things in the political geographical density of our area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We shall protest till they find reasons to behave responsibly by fairly dispersing the advantages accruing to all the Ex- Militants in Ese-odo LGA like their counterparts in other LGAs,” said General Happy Young TK Mightyjor of Festac face 2 Camp; 08087063179. Calling only a few puny ex-militant leaders to a meeting at Osopadec Office, led by the Chairman, Hon. Otunba Sam Erejuwa, would undoubtedly result in terrible battles in various parts of our Local Government, jeopardizing huge things in our area’s political geographical density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chris Iteghi of Kuru camp; 08062273974, we were duped by Osopadec Chairman Concord, Hon. IK Atili, and one Mr. Sam Loko, who diverted our sweats to others. By early next week, we plan to close all doors to the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC) office in Akure’s Oba-Ile neighborhood and ban all employees from entering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
