Plans by Bayelsa State Gov’t to Kill LM Guber Candidate, Vijah Opuama while in Police custody Uncovered

Vijah Opuama Campaign Organization (VOCA) has uncovered the sinister move by the Government of Bayelsa state to kill the candidate of Liberation Movement, Mr. Vijah Opuama who is illegally being detained under unfavorable human conditions by the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit at Force Headquarters in Abuja.

This discovery comes after the Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal decision in ANDP vs INEC & 2 Ors which nullified the election of 16th November 2019 in Bayelsa state.

Mr. Opuama was arrested on the 15th day of August 2020 by men of the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit within the premises of the Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on the instructions of the Bayelsa State Government Chief of Staff, Benson Agadaga while judgment was being delivered in his matter with INEC & 3 Ors.

The powers that be in Creek Haven have perfected plans to kill our Principal at the 16 November 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa state so as to frustrate the appeal in his own case seeking to disqualify the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), His Excellency, Governor Douye Diri and his Deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo and also frustrate Mr. Opuama participation in the fresh election due to his growing popularity and acceptability in Bayelsa state which is now a threat to the PDP and their unpopular candidates in the event that they are not disqualified before the fresh election.

We wonder why a respectable institution like the Nigeria Police Force will allow itself to be used by politicians to frustrate a law abiding citizen like Mr. Opuama by refusing to grant Mr. Opuama bail despite several applications and meeting his administrative bail conditions and have equally refused to charge him to court.

We maintain that Mr. Opuama has not committed any crime known to law to warrant his continued incarceration.

We call on Mr. President, Muhammadu Buhari to call men of the IGP Monitoring Unit to order.

We call on Bayelsans and well meaning Nigerians to hold the current administration of Bayelsa state and the Nigeria Police Force responsible should anything untoward happen to Mr. Opuama as his team of lawyers continue to explore all legal means to put an end to this show of executive rascality by the Bayelsa state government.
