YENAGOA —IJAWS resident in Lagos and Ogun states started relocating from the two states, weekend, to the South-South for fear of attack following the expiration of the ultimatum issued to Ijaws in the states by the Reformed Odua Peoples Congress, ROPC.

Also, many indigenes of Kaiama in Kolokuma Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, country home of Ijaw hero, late Major Adaka Boro, have deserted the community over fears that the military may attack the community, following the threat by a militant group, Adaka Boro Avengers, ABA, to declare a Republic of Niger Delta today.

Spokesperson of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Eric Omare, who confirmed the developments, said: At as Sunday morning (yesterday), information at our disposal indicates that some Ijaw people resident in Lagos and Ogun states, for fear of attack, are already relocating from their places of residence to the South-South.”

He said that there was apprehension among Ijaws in the South-West over the expiration of the ultimatum issued by ROPC, because of attacks by unknown gunmen in parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

The IYC, however, called on ROPC members and the leadership of the Yoruba nation to allow security agents to do their constitutional duty of apprehending criminals responsible for the Ogun and Lagos attacks.
On the tense situation at Kaiama, Omare said: “We call on residents of Kaiama town to be calm and go about their normal activities. There is no plan by the Ijaw people to declare a republic and the threat by Adaka Boro Avengers should be disregarded.

“We wish to warn groups and individuals not to further expose Ijaw and Niger Delta communities to unnecessary tension and danger. They should not abuse modern means of information technology to the detriment of our communities by issuing unnecessary threats and ultimatums.

“We call on security agencies to stop forthwith the unnecessary threats and attacks on Ijaw and other Niger Delta communities because of threats by faceless groups. They should check issues of security with the leadership of Ijaw nation instead of threatening or attacking innocent communities and people,” he added.

They actually said I should tell you that they don't give a hoot about how you handle your problem. Face who is facing you and leave them out of it cos they have more positive things to think about.
Maybe you can check on the hausas to see if they care.

Oluwabusobomi:
Buhari has really polarised this country through his actions and inactions

The worst part of it is that no matter what decision he made, the once vocal region (wasted region) will always support him

You can not conspire to pull down the two regions (SS & SE) that the so called Nigeria feeds on and expect them to keep mute and look on... only the wasted region does that. Awo's imprisonment and June 12 is a good example. They will rather die in silence!

The impact of the blast – burnt palm trees, destroyed cassava farms, razed economic trees – could be seen within a 1,000 metres radius.
