The Pan Niger Delta Forum PANDEF has condemned the attack on Sunday Igboho’s house by the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a statement jointly signed by Edwin Clark and Emmanuel Ibok Essien, national leader and national chairman, respectively, PANDEF expressed its solidarity with Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-political group, and the people of the south-west.
As expressed in the statement, PANDEF condemned the brutal and bloody midnight raid on the residence of Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, in the Soka area of Ibadan, by agents of the Department of State Services, (DSS) in a Gestapo manner, during which innocent citizens were killed and properties destroyed.
It will be declared that the DSS declared Igboho wanted last week Thursday after the agency raided his house in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
They also cautioned that the reported identification of sponsors of Nnamdi Kanu, should not be an alibi to witch-hunt and persecute phantom enemies imagined by the government and hope that Nnamdi Kanu will be given a fair trial.
It further called on President Muhammadu Buhari to call to order the security agencies and cease all forms of flagrant abuse of power.
The group also condemned attacks by gunmen in the Middle Belt region, while maintaining that it stands by its position on restructuring, as Nigeria cannot continue in the present trajectory of a flawed Constitution and undemocratic tendencies of those operating it.
Furthermore, the forum bemoaned the continued neglect and outright abandonment, of critical infrastructural projects in the Niger Delta Region, by the Federal Government, such as the East-West Road; the Gas Revolution Industrial Park, Ogidigben and the Omadinor-Escravos Road projects both in Delta State; the Calabar – Ikot Ekpene Road; amongst several others.
