Tension is brewing in Bayelsa State as the State House of Assembly is at loggerheads with a security company, Darlon Security and Guards, over allegations of extrajudicial killings in the state, particularly in the creeks.

Already, a group of agitators, the Order of Egbesu Brotherhood, has warned of an imminent resumption of violent agitations and escalation of tension if the DSGs were disengaged from its duty of protecting oil installations belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company.

Also, leaders and stakeholders of the Ijaw Youth Council representing the various clans in Southern Ijaw, have thrown its weight behind the security firm, warning those castigating it (security outfit) because of politics to stop in their own interest.

A member of the House of Assembly and a former Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Lt. Col. Bernard Kenebai (retd.), had on July 2, 2018, sponsored a motion accusing employees of Darlon of perpetrating extrajudicial killings, among other heinous crimes.

The lawmaker, with the support of other members, allegedly passed a resolution to check the activities of Darlon Security Services, stressing that there were security reports that the company was engaged in illegal activities.

He explained that the company, which was established to tackle issues such as oil theft, illegal bunkering and other sundry crimes, had now turned around to be the chief sponsors of those crimes.

The lawmaker stated that communities such as Ondewari and Korokoresi had been under a series of attacks from operatives of the company’s taskforce.

But the management of the security firm, in a statement in Yenagoa on Tuesday, by its Public Relations Manager and Security Coordinator, Mr Preye Oseke, dismissed the allegations that the company was involved in criminal and illegal acts in its operations in swampy areas of the state.
