“Ezekiel has personally boasted that he has mobilised thugs and youths across the Ijaw nation to carry out this plan invasion of Inikorogha and extend same to Gelegele and Olodioma.
“Ezekiel has been a Facebook bully, insulting the good people of Ijaw communities for no just reason. He also goes about insulting those with political ambition in the area.
He had claimed that I, OluDerimon and some other persons, had on Thursday laid ambush on him and his cohort.
“It is funny that that same day and about the same period, we were locked in an IYC meeting on issues bordering on Okomu among others.
“The Facebook video footage where he threatened to invade these communities showed him and his. cohorts shooting guns sporadically. These same people are feeding fats on illegal logging which they take to some neighbouring states,” the IYC scribe noted.
