Ogoni–born former militant leader, Solomon Ndigbara,
has accused politicians and traditional rulers of being behind the
perennial cult-related killings in Ogoni land.
Ndigbara also denied his alleged involvement in the resurgence of killings in the area.
He made the denial when he spoke on security challenges and possible
solution in Ogoniland, in felicitation of a Pan African Award on Peace
and Community Development bestowed on him in Ghana.
The Mene Sirabara Ba Teera 1 of Ogoni Kingdom, who spoke at the
weekend, after receiving an award of Most Outstanding Peace and
Community Development Personality of the Year from Pan African
International, alleged that most chiefs and politicians in Khana were
accomplices in the menace.
Ndigbara, who was declared wanted ahead of the 2015 elections by
the security operatives in Rivers, noted that the killings in the area
have surpassed human imagination and called on the police and state
government for urgent intervention.
He called on Governor Nyesom Wike to pick two persons from each
community in Khana Local Government Area to constitute a security
committee that would work with the security agencies to tackle crime.
He said: “I am not part of the killings going on in Ogoniland; I can
go under oath to prove it. Our politicians know where the problem is
coming from. Maybe, it is a gang up to kill me.
“I cannot bow down to any cult group. I have told them that for us to
end killings in Ogoni, let us get two people each from each community
in Ogoni to form a security committee. Then, anybody who does not want
peace at that point can leave Ogoni.
“We, the Ogoni, are the ones to solve our problems. Outsiders cannot
do it for us. It is like chiefs and politicians in Ogoni have interest
in the crime going on in Ogoni. Too many people have died and unless we
come together, we cannot see peace.”
He also called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed
Adamu to redeploy any police personnel that has served more than four
years in order to get the security structure well.
