Chukwudi Akasike, Port Harcourt
A group of armed soldiers have raided the residents of a former militant leader,
Chief Solomon Ndigbara (also known as Osama bin Laden), for alleged gun
running and kidnapping.
The soldiers were said to have stormed one of Ndigbara’s houses in Bua-
Yeghe, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State from their base, 2
Brigade of the Nigerian Army, at about 5.30pm on Sunday.
The soldiers also carried out a similar operation at the home of the ex-Niger
Delta agitator in Port Harcourt on Monday.
It will be recalled that a group of armed policemen had also raided two houses
belonging to an ex-militant leader and Caretaker Committee Chairman of Asari-
Toru Local Government, Mr. Soboma Jackrich.
Confirming the raid through a statement on Monday, the Assistant Director,
Army Public Relations, 2 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Captain Eli Lazarus, said
Ndigbara’s supporters staged a protest against the raid.
However, sources said the whereabouts of Ndigbara’s wife, Kate and his two
younger brothers identified as Bariagan and Gabriel Ndigbara remained
unknown after the soldiers’ operation.
It was learnt that the soldiers destroyed two vehicles; a Toyota Sienna and
Lexus SUV, even as sources said that some rooms in Ndigbara’s Bua-Nyeghe
home were ransacked while some property inside the rooms were damaged.
In his reaction, the Chairman of Gokana Local Government Area, Mr. Austin
Sor, described the operation as an onslaught, shocking and unwarranted.
Sor said, “It is pathetic and a war declared on Chief Solomon Ndigbara and the
people of Bua-Yeghe. To me, this is a political war.
“Yesterday at about 4pm, I was in the community field watching a final match
when some of my community boys came to call me and asked if I am aware
that Army has taken over the community.
“When I got there, actually, what I saw were heavily armed soldiers with 10
vans in the compound of Solomon Ndigbara. An attempt to get their attention
to know who sent them was seriously resisted. Even the paramount could not
access them.”
Also, the Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Mr. Sydney Tambari, said
that the soldiers shot sporadically and damaged property.
The CTC chairman accused leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Ogoni
of being behind the military invasion of Gokana.
“We received the shocking news yesterday (Sunday) that the military had
besieged this premises. You can see the extent of the damage here. They were
here shooting sporadically, damaging property and everything.
“I don’t know which court, where Solomon Ndigbara has been tried and found
to be guilty of whichever offence for him to deserve this kind of onslaught. I
want to put it clear that this onslaught is on the entire youths of Ogoni,”
Tambari added.
But the State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Chris Finebone, cautioned that
the party should not be linked with security operations, adding that issues on
security should be taken to security agencies.

Are we in the military regime or what? Don't we have police and civilian special force agencies? The military is for external aggressor and not for the citizens no matter the crime.
