\n
The people of Ogboinbiri Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State have shut down facilities operated by Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) over an alleged \u2018unlawful\u2019 arrest of their chiefs and youth president by the operatives of the Nigerian Police Force.<\/del><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nPolice spokesman in Bayelsa State, ASP Musa Muhammed, had in a statement in Yenagoa, the state capital. confirmed the arrest of six suspects in the community over alleged disturbing violence and threats to oil and gas production.<\/del><\/p>\n

But the protesting people of the community, including; elders, youths and women of the community displaying various placards, demanded the release of their chiefs and other leaders from the police detention.<\/del><\/p>\n

The community is embroiled in leadership tussle, due to the chiefs interest in oil politics, a situation that some disposed chiefs to institute a court case against the community.<\/del><\/p>\n

It was learnt that when the chiefs, the CDC Chairman and youth president went to court for hearing on Friday, they were arrested outside the courtroom after the court proceedings.<\/del><\/p>\n

As a result, the community decided to shut down the oil facilities which have crippled activities of NAOC in the area, demanding the immediate release of their chiefs, CDC Chairman and youth president.<\/del><\/p>\n

Speaking shortly after the protest, a community member, Owei Jackson, said \u201cThe state government should go and ask the oil company, they know that we are a peaceful people. Whenever we have disagreement with them, we settle it internally. So, the governor should also know that whatever kingship conflict we have, we can settle it internally.<\/del><\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter is already in court, and they should allow the court to take a decision. We are not interested in whatever interest the government has in the matter but what we are demanding as a community is that our kinsmen that have been arrested should be released or else, whatever happens, the world should take it.\u201d<\/del><\/p>\n

Also speaking, the woman former leader of community, Mrs. Beauty Okia, said the people of Ogboinbiri Community have tradition of living in harmony, and their leaders should be released immediately.<\/del><\/p>\n

Already, police has announced the arrest of six suspects in connection with violence and threats to oil and gas production in southern Ijaw local government area of the state.<\/del><\/p>\n

In a statement, the police said: \u201cFollowing the disturbing violence and threats to oil and gas production in Southern Ijaw LGA. The Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa State Police Command CP, Alonyenu Francis Idu, swiftly deployed police operatives leading to the arrest of six (6) suspects, namely: Mr Tari Daniel \u2018m\u2019 , Mr Tari Daniel \u2018m\u2019 , \u2018Mr\u2019 Experience Pere \u2018m\u2019 , Mr Tari Okido Jacob \u2018m\u2019 , Chief Augustine Okorodo \u2018m\u2019 , Chief Ogiori Maclean \u2018m\u2019 and chief Moses Okoriwei \u2018m\u2019.<\/del><\/p>\n
