The Niger Delta Ex-Agitators’ for Peace Organization (NDEPO), alleging this however called on the Delta state Governor, Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa to intervene to discourage such dastardly acts, adding that the senseless killings do not portray the state government in good light as would-be investors may be scared to come to the area.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, the Country Coordinator of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators for Peace Organization, Comrade Ambassador George Sinclair expressed worry that such unwarranted and senseless killings in the local government area, speaks volume of the high level of insecurity in the state, particularly in Warri South West local government area.
The group said that if the ugly trend is allowed to continue without meaningful and visible government’s intervention, the insecurity level may degenerate to a point where there could be reprisal attacks that could lead to a full scale inter community war.
He therefore called on the state governor to immediately set a judicial commission of enquiry to investigate the remote cause of the unprovoked invasion of the community to quickly to stop the killings and resolve the crisis.
