THE Ijaw National Congress (INC) has dismissed as fake and misleading, claims that Ijaw youths are planning coordinated attacks on military locations and facilities across the Niger Delta.


President of the INC, the parent Ijaw social cultural organisation, Prof Benjamin Okaba stated this on Sunday while reacting to an alleged intelligence report directing military formations in the region to be on high alert over the purported plan.

Describing the report as false and aimed at tarnishing the image of the Ijaw nation, Okaba said there was no such plan or any reason or justification that warrants contemplating such devilish plan by the Ijaw Youth Council, and any other organization in Ijaw land.

His words, “As the umbrella organisation of Ijaw people worldwide, our attention has been drawn to an orchestrated report aimed at pitching the Federal Government and military against the Ijaw nation.

“We have carried out diligent investigation and found out that the report is not only fake but a figment of the imagination of those who concocted and generated this delicate, devilish and unfortunate idea.

“The region needs peace, tranquility and development now more than ever and we are all united as Ijaw people in condemning the dastardly acts of the criminals who killed the officers and men of the Nigerian Army.

“We, however, wish to reiterate as in our earlier statements on this subject matter that the military should be more professional in fishing out the culprits. More damages should not be inflicted on the innocent indigenes and that justice be tampered with mercy to the extent of exempting the innocent citizens of the affected communities in their reprisal operations.

“We also wish to use this opportunity to warn and advice members of the political class within and outside the region that they should not take their desperate politics beyond the level of decency.


“The originators of this evil and very dangerous plot are the true enemies of the Ijaw nation.”

He, therefore called on all well meaning Nigerians and particularly the military authorities “to disregard this fake and unfounded rumour and treat it as such.”

The youths are wiser now

Someone said, why would the military launch a counter attack? Why didn't they apply a civil method of investing the perpetrators and deal with them alone? Why attack innocent people just because a set of officers were killed?


But nobody slaps back officers who assault Nigerians answering important calls on military checkpoints? Same checkpoint that criminals will attack and the useless army will take on their heels....

Lol una for plan am and see how military go kill una finish lol

Nne, I was one time assaulted by this guys.....

My mum wasn't feeling strong and I was driving and while approaching their checkpoint, I alighted and received the call from my sister. An officer approached me but I was still on the call. He waited for me to finish the call, all for him to start ranting that I disrespected him and that I had no rights to answer calls on a checkpoint.

I kept quiet all through and was ignoring the calls from my sister who was at the hospital and I needed to be fed with updates on her health and what the doctor was saying.

He later asked me to leave. After delaying me for hours! I had to put on the AC while he was under the sun vexing for his ancestors!

Because a video of child bandits in full military regalia went viral few days ago. Is it not wisdom that led them into banditry? 😀
