Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by macjive01: 3:15am On Feb 24, 2011
Ijaw Congress president shot, hospitalised
From HENRY CHUKWURAH, Port Harcourt

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

President of Pan-Ijaw organisation, the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Dr. Atuboyedia Obianimie, is now lying critically ill in a Port Harcourt hospital, following an attack by gunmen. The Rivers State Police Command, however, suspects that his attackers were kidnappers.

Dr. Obianimie, a senior lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt, was shot in the thigh on Monday night in the university town of Choba, near the Rivers State capital.

The attack occurred less than 48 hours after two gunmen on a motorcycle shot another university lecturer dead in the state.

It was gathered that an unspecified number of gunmen attacked the INC president at about 8.10 pm at the Choba roundabout.

A timely intervention by policemen on patrol foiled an attempt to kidnap him and possibly snatch his car.

Confirming the incident, Police spokesperson in the state, Dr. Rita Inoma-Abbey (SP), said the Police patrol team later pursued the gunmen up to a spot where they ran into a market.

She explained that the hoodlums escaped because policemen could not fire any shot for fear that innocent persons in the market could be hit.

The Police image-maker said the gunmen abandoned two AK 47 rifles, two magazines and 21 live ammunition.

She confirmed that the INC president was responding to treatment in an undisclosed hospital, assuring that investigation and the manhunt for the gunmen were in progress.

Kidnapping seems a bit odd though. What if they shot and killed him? Why is it clearly a kidnapping attempt?

I think you've developed a serious case of illiteracy for the pat couple months. Knowing when WILL should be used instead of WOULD should not be hard for a boy who lives in Britain. Stay off of nairaland and go to class homie. cool

Re: Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by ekubear1: 5:13am On Feb 24, 2011
Wow. Totally misread and thought the OPC actually shot him. Seems to be pure speculation on the part of the OP, no?

Seems a bit unlikely that the OPCs reach extends to PHC.

Plus, kidnapping for ransom doesn't sound like the OPCs style  wink

Hrm. On second thought. . . perhaps all of these kidnappings east of the River Niger were done by the OPC!

Such rascality and criminality must be condemned  wink grin
Re: Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by fstranger3(m): 5:41am On Feb 24, 2011
Possible

Damn Yorubas. Always mistreating the Ibos.
Re: Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by EzeUche2(m): 5:50am On Feb 24, 2011
These people think they have reach in the East. grin

Yorubas are in fairly good number in Port Harcourt though. They could easily be used as a scapegoat and allow the Ijaws to battle them once more. While we Igbos just laugh. And indeed, anything is possible in Nigeria.
Re: Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by fstranger3(m): 5:57am On Feb 24, 2011
There are no Yorubas in the Port Harcourt, very very very few.

God has blessed our land, what is there in Portharcourt ? Nothing, compared to what we have back home.


There are Yorubas in the North though, we'd rather live with Hausas, very nice people.
Re: Ijaw Congress President Shot - Opc ? by ekubear1: 5:59am On Feb 24, 2011
^-- lol. There is a lot of oil wealth in PHC.

Rivers State is flourishing as a result.

God forbid I ever have to go there

My friends who served there and my other friend who got an engineering job there hate it.

They all wanna come back home, for reasons I wont go into today.

Their experience is opposite of what Igbos in the SW experience. The level of hospitality, compared to what is obtainable in the SW, is nothing to write home about.

Same reason why affluent Ibos leave in droves for the good land, Yorubaland. May God continue to bless Yorubaland. The most peaceful region in the whole of Nigeria.

I wouldn't mind living there at all.

firstly, the topic is misleading. secondly, if this attitude of tribalism is not curbed, Nigeria can't develop.
