Question: Who then did our military arrest?

A community source, who identified himself as
Nadi Mogbeyi, told THISDAY that though they
were against any criminality in the area, the so-
called suspects were residents struggling to make
ends meet in the community.
“They caught so many people. I was in hiding,
watching them as they were picking people up.
They arrested one Moses Andrew, a mechanic
that was invited from Warri to come and fix a
Dana vehicle here; one cook, called Philip, he is a
cook in the guesthouse; he was tortured from
morning. They were forcing him to confess what
he doesn’t know.
“They tied them with just his underwear on. I
heard them shouting ‘I don die’. They went into
the shrine, came out and took them away in
some boats.
“The mechanic we brought to fix the car because
of the construction work going on here, he came
on Friday evening. He didn’t know what
happened. They invaded the place and picked
him up.
“Our generating set went off because the diesel
was exhausted. They took the mechanic to the
plant that supplies light to the palace. They
forced him to switch on the plant and then tied
him back when he finished before taking him
away.
“They also arrested Orumina Odiki, a security man
in the guesthouse, then Ebierieri, who sews and
designs the king’s clothes. Those were the ones I
know,” he said.
Also, Alpheus Okpekperere, a youth in the
community, stated that the entire area was now a
ghost town, following the invasion of the place by
the military.
“The whole place is deserted. They came around
2 am on Saturday. We haven’t taken our bath.
The water suppliers have disappeared. We can’t
make calls. Everybody is stranded.
“Life is very difficult. We are being held hostage.
We don’t have access to anything, not even
water. The workers are all in the bush. Children
cannot even go to school,” he told THISDAY.
