By EgbemaVoice,

The Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI, has commended the Commandant-General of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Maj. Gen. Buba Marwa and the Agency in its fight against drug trafficking and for the arrest of one Emami Ajetsibogho, younger brother to controversial Warri Chief Ayirimi Emami for allegedly smuggling drugs worth billions of naira into the Country. 

It was gathered that the suspect was arrested by the Agency's strike force at Apapa in Lagos State Command following a tip-of.

The group national president in a statement, Comrade Ozobo said,"the arrest of Chief Emami's brother is a milestone, laudable achievement in the fight against drug trafficking in this country.

"I want to commend NDLEA who were able to get the lead information to apprehend this criminal suspect."

According to Comrade Ozobo,"As Ijaw people, we are happy that God is vindicating us. The Itsekiris are hell bent to kill the Ijaw people to grab their lands."

He recalled that a British Soldier from the Itsekiri extraction was recently arrested for smuggling guns into Warri to kill innocent people, especially Ijaws and to cause crisis in Warri. God exposed him and DSS arrested the British Soldier and thwarted his evil intentions."

He noted that another Itsekiri person has been caught allegedly trafficking drugs into the Country. "Who knows whether it was to drug miscreants to kill Ijaw people and burn villages? Ozobo asked. 

"Ayiri particularly who has been making all kinds of unprintable statements against Ijaw people, we are surprised that his younger brother is a drug baron. Ayiri should be ashamed of himself. This shows that Ayiri Emami's family is not a reputable family, by wanting to bribe NDLEA with a whopping sum of Two hundred million (N200m) to get his brother released. We thought Ayiri has a reputation, but it is shameful."

Comrade Ozobo pointed out that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja dismissed a suit filed y some Itsekiris to stop the delineation of Warri Federal Constituency. He emphasized that the court fined them four(4) million naira damages for wasting its time and that of the defendants in the Suit. 

We are not deterred by their plots. We are very sure that the right thing will be done in the Warri federal constituency.

Comrade Ozobo, however urged the Maj.Gen. Buba Marwa led NDLEA to investigate the matter thoroughly and prosecute the suspect in line with stipulated laws to serve as a deterrent to others. 


"I am calling on the NDLEA to investigate properly and bring to book anyone connected to this crime. If Ayiri is connected, he should be brought to book. Any Itsekiri connected should be brought to book."

Ozobo lamented that a time when TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited is helping to rehabilitate youths whose lives have been destroyed as a result of drug abuses and addiction, Ayiri Emami's family were busy worsening the situation by trafficking and making available the drugs to youths to further destroy their future. 

He also appealed to the NDLEA to partner with TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited in the rehabilitation of youths in Warri and its environ.

Edo-Delta Egbema Political Space: Leadership Disputes Hindering Development, Youths Urged to Learn from the Past,

By
Egbema Kingdom Political Space: Leadership Misunderstanding Contributes to Underdevelopment in Edo and Delta States By Egbemavoice, Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has exposed the root causes behind the underdevelopment of Egbema Kingdom, which straddles Edo and Delta states. He pointed to persistent leadership misunderstandings and the lingering effects of colonial-era divide-and-rule tactics. Comrade Mingo described Egbema as the most populous and one of the oldest Ijaw kingdoms in southern Nigeria—yet it has suffered decades of underdevelopment, neglect, deprivation, marginalization, and oppression by both the Edo and Delta state governments. He traced this back to tribal sentiments and biases harbored by successive state administrations. Egbema Kingdom’s plight began during the days of Bendel State, before its division into Edo and Delta states. The kingdom spans both states but is united under one traditional throne, with its headquarter...

Ex-Lagos Police Commissioner Slams Nigerian Leaders Over N30,000 Funding For Police Divisions, Officers Sleeping In Exhibit Vans

By
By EgbemaVoice, Owoseni condemned the hypocrisy of political leaders who criticise the physical appearance of officers without addressing the root causes. A former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has decried the dire state of funding and welfare in the Nigeria Police Force. He lamented that police divisions operate on as little as N30,000 monthly while officers endure deplorable living conditions, including sleeping inside exhibit vehicles at police stations. In an interview with News Central TV’s Breakfast Central programme, Owoseni, who was visibly angry, criticised what he described as the appalling neglect of police welfare by the Nigerian leaders who, despite the realities, dare to “shamelessly” demean officers. “You have a Divisional Police Officer like in Ikeja Police Division that has an area of responsibility so large, and what you use to fund that police division is N30,000, to do what?” Owoseni asked. He painted a grim picture of the daily stru...
