b]Ogoni Traditional Rulers Kick as Army Arrests Paramount Ruler, Gbaranee
[/b]

Soldiers from the 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, stationed in Bori, Rivers State, have arrested the paramount ruler of Yeghe community in Ogoniland, Barinaadaa Gbaranee.

Yeghe community, in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State has been a hot spot of army operations since they invaded the community in February in search of ex-agitator, Solomon Ndigbara, whom the military has since declared wanted.

Not less than 20 persons were allegedly killed in the military operation even though the army said nobody was killed.

The Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, Capt. Eli Lazarus, confirmed the arrest of the Ogoni traditional ruler.

He however said the army “invited”Gbaranee for questioning concerning an investigation it was carrying out.

In a text message on Tuesday, Lazarus said, “The paramount ruler of Yeghe community, HRH Barinadaa Gbaranee, was invited by 2 Brigade Nigerian Army in connection with an on-going investigation that relates to security within his domain. I assure you that he will return to his community as soon as investigation is completed.”

In the meantime, the Council of Ogoni Traditional Rulers (COTRA) has condemned Gbaraanee’s “abduction” and called for his immediate release.

The Chairman of COTRA, King Suanu Baridam, in a statement issued yesterday said, “We consider the abduction of Chief T.D. Gbaranee a desecration of the highly respected traditional institution and strongly reject the humiliation of an Ogoni traditional stool by the Army.

The Nigeria Army Desecrate The Royal Throne In Ogoni Land.

The Nigerian Army says it has arrested Ogoni Paramount Ruler Barinadaa TD Gbaranee because of "insecurity in his domain..." "This is how they treat Niger Delta chiefs because of Niger Delta militants but Boko Haram Emirs, Sultans are walking around freely in the North where their terrorists arewrecking havoc! What a country! What a government!

Ogoni kingdom not bigger than the law.

Buhari working.

Propaganda

I am not comfortable with this post. The source please?

Dasuki was arrested on gun charges


Nobody complained


and didn't one of these muuurfuckas say they have to blame the head (Buhari) for every failure in this country ?


Well then the same rule applies


If this news is true , then the leader of that community "the head" should be arrested , which means this arrest is justified


Won't be surprised if there are other reasons for his arrest

That's how to go. Good one Nigeria army. Anyplace that pipeline gets blow in the ss, I urge the NA to arrest the local chiefs there. If possible, the entire youths of that particular area should be arrested. Sanity needs to be restored in the ss.

Magnus Abe should be fingered not NA.

Who has arrested sultan of Sokoto because of boko haram. This is a slap on ogoni people

Pained Ugandans.....everything must have ethnic colouration

Guy Calm your nerves, He has a point...
This is Paramount Ruler we are talking about, just like an Emir or sultan in the North. Is it proper to arrest a king because of insecurity in his domain?
If your answer is yes, then all the kings of Bornu, Adamawa, and Yobe should have been arrested.

Nigerian army are harassing a Paramount ruler u are hailing them, by the time the youth in his community decide to pick up arms do u think there will be any pipe lines left....
I guess been a clown is ur definition of sanity.

[/s] let the youths pick arms and get shot by the same army. No time for nonsense

did sultan of sokoto colabrate or support boko haram or kabiru sokoto ?

y not pick arms ur self and shoot them, Mr rambo

This is a very wrong and silly move if true.
How can you arrest the paramount ruler of a town because militants blew up a pipelines in his domain?
Have you arrested the Emir of Maiduguri for boko Haram killing and bombing people to shreds?

iambijo:

What evidence do you have that the arrested paramount ruler supported the pipeline destruction?

i laugh at d NA insensitive approach to this one;its just like using headache medicine to cure ulcer,committee of dafts(C.O.D)!

If true, it will only intensify the agitation

Have they not picked it up before? When they were committing crimes, you hailed them, but when the law start taking its course, you will cry as expected.

When a bird perches a rope, the bird will not be comfortable while the rope too.will never experience peace.

Buhari's undoing has always been hindsight bias which has always backfired and proved counter productive in the last one year.

Buhari can be likened to the proverbial stubborn fly that pledges undying loyalty to a dead body.

It's true cos dat was the reason the women were protesting. Am in Bori right now

since u were not taught not to bite the hands that feeds u, and as well not taught that it's bad to hit a child and taunt him, I rest ma case.

Pls people, he wasn't arrested because pipelines was bombed in his place. Ogoni is in Rivers State and bombings has been in Bayelsa and Delta states.
Yes there is a kind of political crisis in the town and guess that's why he was arrested. But the funny thing is that the NA said that they invited him and not arrested him. My question is this, what type of invitation will last for a week? Is the NA now the NPF that has the constitutional responsibility for internal security? The place is not at war or is there anything near any cult crisis.

When did Ogonis start having paramount rulers?
Ogonis are not known to have a traditional kingship tradition, talk less a PARAMOUNT ruler.

Chai! You go fit manage a family so? They shld even arrest every living soul in the region just as western world shld have thrown misile in nigeria to end boko haram at once. Oniranu oshi.

Since the NDA have chosen to be unreasonable and refused to sheath their swords for talks,The FG is also allowed to protect it's own interest by doing whatever it considers necessary.You can't throw sanity away by supporting militants and discover sanity when an arrest is made.
