Rivers APC Youth Give Police Commissioner 24 Hours To Release Members, By Gladys Nweke

The Youths wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has given the state Police Commissioner, Musa Kimo, a 24-hour ultimatum to release APC members who are being detained since the wake of March 19, 2016 re-run election in the state.
The spokesperson of the party’s youth wing, Ikennda Killington Elechi, who addressed news men in Port Harcourt today, threatened that if the police boss failed to release the detainees, they would employ other legal means to get them out.
Those whom the youths wanted to be released are the following members from Ahoada West local government:
1. Courage Ofor and John Chiogbo; from Obio/Akpor local government are Bobby Ezekiel, Chinedu Johnson Amadi, Henry Owhonda, Morgan Ezekiel and Confidence Nyege.
Those from Eleme local government are Bright Obarinwite, David Ogosu, Friday Birabel, Henry Dick, Dini Sani and Alhaji Umaro
The Youth also lamented the series of killings of young people in the state on daily basis.
They recalled that in Etche local government, nine youths were recently killed, while in Onelga local government, four young men were killed even as four others were killed in Asari-Toru local government.
They said that some of those who were killed were either beheaded, burnt or thrown into the river, In Gokana and Khana local government.
The APC youth wing called on the Federal Government to do something quickly to save these brutal killings, saying that it is a shame to allow a part of Nigeria, especially Rivers State as part of the country to degenerate into mess. [myad]
