Leaders of Odimodi Community in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, have protested against alleged threat to the peace and security of the community and harassment of its 90 year old monarch by the leadership of the Nigeria Navy’s NNS Delta.
They accused the security agency of partisanship, meddling in the community’s internal affair and threatening the peace and security of the oil-producing Ijaw community.
The community’s displeasure was contained in a letter to the Commanding Officer, NNS Delta, Warri, Commodore Aliyu Sule, following the CO’s invitation to the nonagenarian clan head, Chief Yangaboy Angalabiri.
The letter, authored by Larry Ovwromoh & Associate, followed an invitation letter from the CO, threatening to take “action” against the monarch and leadership of the community, unless the monarch makes a long trip from Odimodi to appear before him in Warri and also allow a sacked leadership of the clan to remain in place.
Attempts to get the Navy’s reaction were abortive as the Base IO, Lt Tope Ogunaike, was unavailable. Commodore Sule was yet to return our reporter’s calls or respond to text message sent to his mobile phone since Friday.
