Delta Workers Embark On Strike Over Kidnappings by Abagworo(m): 1:07am On Mar 29, 2012
The activities of kidnappers, robbers and cultists continued to take its toll on residents of Delta State on Wednesday as medical doctors, university lecturers and oil workers embarked on strike.

The action of the doctors, lecturers and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, followed the abduction of their members at various locations in the state.

The doctors are demanding the release of their colleague, Dr. Ngozi Chukwuebulim, attached to Warri Central Hospital, who was kidnapped in the early hours of Sunday, while the oil workers are asking for the release of the Warri Area Manager of the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, Mr. Williams Enoh, who was kidnapped on Saturday.

A soldier attached to the Joint Task Force, who was serving as a guard to the PPMC manager was shot dead in the operation.

Already, the strike has resulted in the shutting down of filling stations in Warri.

Members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers in Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company, and Warri Area Office of PPMC have also withdrawn their services.

The Nigeria Union of Journalists is also planning a protest against the general insecurity in the state, especially the abduction of a journalist, Mr. Monday Whiskey, last week.

The Warri Central Hospital has also been shut down, while it was gathered that the kidnappers of the doctor are demanding N100m before releasing her.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly , Mr. Victor Ochei, was conspicuously absent at yesterday’s session of the House which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Basil Ganagana.

The Speaker, it was gathered, was still battling to make contacts with the abductors of his younger brother, Tobechukwu, on Tuesday in Asaba.

But the Speaker’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Eddy Akpati-Ogude, said the speaker went for another ‘’official assignment’’ and asked the deputy to preside for him.

I pray that the authorities can bring the kidnapping saga to a quick end. The robust reaction of the people as a community is heartwarming.
The gang members must be found and dealt with by death or law.

na wao! when I saw the comments on the other thread, i thought they were exaggerations. It appears not.

However it should be noted these kidnappers are not spirits. Just like the Osisikanwu case has shown, those bazztards are able to operate successfully because of the connivance of some locals.

It is sad that this is coming just few hours after the assurance that the problem insecurity caused by BH will end by June.
Pray the wahabe be ended as soon as possible. The jail must be used to accomodate the terrorist.

Later southerners will pretend like they are better than their northerner counterparts.the menace of social vices should be thoroughly addressed instead of tribalizing crimes and thinking the north are worse.how are these southern boko harams better than their northern counterparts.we forgot that the keyword missing in the lives of these people is a quality education that would have given them a good direction and fair opportunity in the society.Are these kidnappers,cultist and armed robbers not also a failure of the southern Nigeria ? The earlier we begin to vividly identify and deduce that there is social problem that may have started as a result of the collapse of the family system,government insensitivity or general societal imbalances,then we can find solution to almajirism trend in the north and south of Nigeria !

The more reason we should view the security problem in Nigeria as transcending ethno-religious colouration with which we have labelled it. May God almighty guide our leaders right and help the youths with the truth to know in love and honesty...... Una know the remaining part of the national anthem. I rest my case.

Except some drastic action by security operatives am afraid there is no end in sight soon.These guys operate freely as if we dont have security agent in warri.
One solution is posting of any policeman that have spent more than 1yr in warri and its environs out of delta state , cos l strongly believe that these boys have their backing or d policemen have become so use to the kidnappers activities that it doesnt bother them any more.

What do you want me to say, my guy? I'm not in power in Delta state (or anywhere).
The situation is horrible and from victim accounts, the kidnappers are not even from Delta state. As far as I am concerned, it is disgraceful that it has taken community action for the state govt to act.

Please stop blackmailing His Excellency
the governor of Delta State, there is
nothing like kidnapping in Warri.Are you
a police man trying to lobby the federal
government for police to return to check
point. We don't need them, ever since
they left the check point there has been
peace in Warri. If they like let the
sponsor kidnapping to justify their
coming back, we will reject them. They
should patrol the street and gather
intelligence info.The army is at the three
point exit from Warri, the police should
do internal patrol and rapid response to
distress calls. Uduaghan is creating jobs
every day to reduce unemployment,
most people now call him the job
machine and you are here blackmailing
him.It is unfair

Dude, what do you say about this?

PLA1:

I disagree with U on this sir. Most of this boys are not even from Warri. (they always have a Warri person in the gang for planing and escape purposes). The guys I was with during my experience were all Esan speaking. That helpped though, cos I understand all they said during that period. I never gave them clue that I heard anything they said cos they might just get angry and end me there and then. So, I followed there instruction like a fool. Dat also gave me my convictions that they are sponsored by some larger than life folks out there. They were always reporting events to one particular "CHAIRMAN" and always speaking Esan.

I know you for your relentless campaigns for amnesty to militants, which is unfortunate. Now, you seem to be on the side of the kidnappers, which is even more unfortunate.

IMHO, ex-militants would find it much easier to bunker oil than kidnap people. If anyone kidnaps people, why on Earth would you think they deserve an amnesty, rather than a bullet? By your scenario (which is wrong), they have become enemies of the people who only deserve to be haunted down and fumigated.
