PORT HARCOURT—There is a new twist in the case of six suspects arrested by the Joint Task Force, JTF, recently for illegal possession of fire arms. The suspects were handed over to the Police.
But the community has said the youths were sent to recover the arms.
According to the Amayanabo of Ogu, King Nicholas Biobele, the community got wind of an alleged plot by a neighbouring community to invade his community, hence the youths were sent to go in search of the arms being amassed and retrieve same.
He said those arrested were community vigilante, who recovered the arms that would have been used by a neighbouring community to attack his community.
He said they recovered the rifles but were apprehended on their way back by the JTF, adding that those linking Senator George Sekibo and a member of the state House of Assembly, Evans Bipi, to the issue were being unfair. He said that the matter had nothing to do with politics.

This is how bad things are getting in our beloved country. I feel terrible because these same weapons would be used to terrorise innocent people, kill our troops and law enforcement officers. The soldiers that made the arrest actually have no business being there from the body language of the authorities. I weep for my country.

Mbu has created a way out for wike and His terrorist gang, gdi.

since when does the youth have to replace the law efforcment agencies in carrying out their duties. Why not report to the police to retrieve the arms.

My people, this is d kind of things we hear and see in Rivers state everyday. Police and Traditional Rulers from GEJ's wife's place shielding criminals and assassins all in d name of playing politics. Few yrs back when Okirika was on fire, when Bush boys and islanders criminal gangs, where recking havoc. Where was Patience Jonathan then? It was this same Amaechi they want to kill now that brought peace to those communities by chasing all d criminals like Tom Ateke with d help of d military away into Okochiri forest. Where was Patience Jonathan when okirikans where killing and eating fellow okirikans?

Very insensitive leaders. They are creating a monster not bearing in mind that it will not just consume the ordinary people but they themselves.

Very unfortunate, when militancy was on the high side in Port Harcourt, most of these traditional rulers and Politicians relocated to Abuja, even Abuluma and Fimie were deserted then. Is a shame, they have started crawling their way back. Elechi and Njemanze waterside were no go area then. In the space of seven months, unrest and kidnapping have resumed.
