…PDP CHAIRMAN URGES SECURITY MEN TO BE FIRM

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary òf the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Yekini Nabena, was on Saturday morning arrested with arms and ammunition by soldiers on deployment in Odi, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government.

The State Chairman òf the PDP, Chief Moses Cleopas, said in a statement on Saturday that the soldiers held Nabena with the weapons for over 30 minutes and later allowed him to proceed to the Trofani after he made some calls.

According to Cleopas, the military had a responsibility to demonstrate the expected impartiality in the election by ensuring strict adherence to the law.

He stressed that Nabena was still in Trofani with the guns in his vehicle and had no reason to be released with such evidence of banditry on Election Day.

He said, “Our men on ground at Odi have confirmed to us that the Deputy National Publicity Secretary òf the APC, Yekini Nabena, was arrested in Odi with a cache of arms in his vehicle.

“The soldiers who searched his car held him for over 30 minutes before he made some calls and they were compelled to release him.

“It is quite unfortunate that Nabena was allowed to drive away with the cache of arms to the nearby Trofani.

“I wish to draw the attention of Nigerians and International observers to the covert support being given to APC chieftains to unleash violence on innocent people in Bayelsa.

“Election shouldn’t be war and we call for urgent and convince intervention to avoid escalation of violence.”
