By Freeborn Abraye<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warri, Nigeria \u2014 The conscience of our nation is once again shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have received credible reports that Emami Ajetsibogho, the direct younger brother of the controversial Itsekiri leader Ayiri Emami, has been allegedly apprehended by Government Authorities in connection with the smuggling of hard drugs worth billions of naira into Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even more disturbing is the damning allegation that a certain former Deputy Governor and APC gubernatorial candidate from Kwale was reportedly given a 200 million naira cash bribe, allegedly by Ayiri himself, to compromise security operatives and suppress the matter from public knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not just an insult to our laws, it is a betrayal of the people, especially the youths whose lives are already on the edge due to the devastating consequences of drug abuse. We cannot allow such weighty allegations to be swept under the carpet. The use of drug money to fund violence, buy influence and destabilize communities, particularly in Warri and its environs, is a crime against humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We call on all well-meaning Nigerians, Delta citizens and security agencies to pick keen interest in this matter and demand an immediate, transparent investigation. The people deserve to know the truth. The culture of impunity must end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long shall we keep quiet while our youths are destroyed and our communities turned into theatres of chaos by drug lords hiding behind political masks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-R, Ajetsibogho Emami & Ayiri Emami<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let this serve as a rallying call. Nigeria is not for sale and Delta State is not a playground for narcotic-sponsored anarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
