Oil Companies To Relocate From Rivers State Due To Renewed Threats from Don Wann by Upritman(m): 8:26am On Dec 11, 2017
Following the recent raid on the mansion of a notorious militant from Rivers State, [url]Prince[/url] Ejima Igwedibia, a.k.a Don Wanni, by men of the​ Nigeria Army and a local Security Outfit, suspected members of his gang has vowed to unleash terror on residents leaving in his Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the State. This has prompted some oil contracting firms to threaten to leave the area.
The boys said their threat would become real if their master (Don Wanni) was not allowed to move freely.

Southern City News reports that a senior official of Deanl’s Oil Servicing Company, Dr. Samuel Onyije, explained that they were considering relocating from the area as a result of the threat by suspected cult boys loyal to Don Wanni.

Onyije explained that 300 hundred persons would be thrown into the labour market should the firm leave its current base in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA.

“It is becoming very tough here (ONELGA). When soldiers came, they made some arrest and left. But the boys are still there; the boys are connected to Don Wanni
.
“The boys are saying Don Wanni should be given freedom to continue to do what he has been doing. They are threatening and that is why some firms are thinking of leaving.

“Our company is a very large one that is doing contract work with Agip, Total and Niger Delta Petroleum Resources. If we leave, about 300 persons will lose their jobs, he said.

Onyije, however, called on the Federal Government to beef security within the area to ensure the protection of lives and property within Omoku, the headquarters of the area and its environs.

“The Federal Government should come and beef up security in the area. Omoku is fast becoming another thing,” Onyije added.

A senior staff of another firm in the area, who does not want his name mentioned for fear of being targeted by cult members, said, “They (cultists) have threatened to attack the area if Don Wanni is not allowed freedom.

“That is why many of us are afraid and we are thinking that we may relocate because the threat from these boys is real,”

Suanu's Blog recalls that Don Wanni had escaped with bullet wounds when soldiers raided his shrine while searching for him after the killing of four persons in the area. Although Don Wanni is a beneficiary of the amnesty granted by the State Government, he has constantly been accused of masterminding kidnapping and killing of innocent persons within Omoku, a development that made security agencies to go after him.

During the raid on Don Wanni's Mansion and shrine, 10 human skulls, some arms and ammunition among other items were discovered.

It may interest you to know that Don Wanni despite all the criminal allegations against him is a crowned traditional ruler in ONELGA.
