The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide on Monday said the invasion of the residence of its former President Alhaji Muhajid Asari Dokubo by the military was an invitation to war.

In a statement by the IYC National President, Barrister Oweilaemi Pereotubo, said the Ijaw Nation viewed the above actions as a deliberate declaration of war, adding that as a people with rights they would not watch their people continue to be killed.

Oweilaemi said the “unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal arrest of our leader will not be accepted by the Ijaw people.”

IYC therefore called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Nigerian Army to order and restore a civil administration of justice as clearly enshrined in the constitution.

“Only a few days ago, the residence of King Ateke Tom in Okuchiri, in Okrika local Government area was invaded and one shot dead with several injured and properties destroyed.

“Within the period of these elections Ijaw people have lost over fifty people and everyone of it has been caused directly or indirectly by the cheer desperation of the All Progressive congress led Government,” the statement reads.

IYC added that as a peace- loving people they have orchestrated and accepted the proclamation of the Amnesty programs as a means and vehicle towards the cessation of arms conflict and violence to enable the region have its fair share of aggressive government attention.

The group added at the same time the amnesty has given the federal government the avenue to deal with the age long issues of deprivation marginalisation and underdevelopment which has led to the relative peace enjoyed in the region.

“However let it be on record that if anything happens to Alhaji Muhajid Asari Dokubo, the Ijaw Nation will take steps that will not be convenient to the Nigerian Nation.

“We have bled too much to keep the unity of this Nation. Enough is enough.

“We want to use this medium to inform the Nigeria people and the international community that the peace of our region is being destroyed and the implications will be grave.

“Rivers is not at war and we wonder why the militarisation especially when the North East is ravaged by the non- stop effects of the deadly terrorise group Boko Haram and the military is comfortable here and not in such areas of gross necessity.

“We looked patiently to the resolution of his unethical action of the Nigeria Military by the President and commander in chief of the federal republic of Nigeria,” the group stated.

Please leave fat Asari alone

am very happy for this

provocative indeed.. IYC should go to hell. Good and responsible ppl of the Niger Delta do not support asari ateke or any other militant for that matter. The leeches have killed our ppl and appropriated the voice of the masses to their own selfish interests.

Officers pls deal with the slowpoke. The fat pig has done enough on this earth to warrant an eternity in prison and hell. NIGERIA is bigger than any one region and any sectional interest.

Buhari needs to act drastically

Nothing will happen Jo. The same thing was said when the Army raided General Tompolo's resistance.

This is good for IPOB Biafra idiot, I think with this they will receive sense.

For Ijaw, you, like Igbo like to always say you are not at war, you are peaceful, you are not fighting anyone, but that IS the problem, because Nigger Area is at war with YOU....and are violent and are fighting YOU.

Was OBJ a war general not installed President?
Was Buhari a coupist not hijacking the major opposition ticket for 5 times to be re-installed President?
