RIVERS YOUTH DEMAND WITHDRAWAL OF SOLDIERS IN OGONI LAND



-     
        - Over 2,000 youths at the weekend staged a protest march across Bori, head-quarters of Khana LGA of Rivers State.

-     -   The youth, who were drawn from seven LGA of Tai, Eleme, Oyigbo, Gokana, Khana, Opobo/Nkoro and Andoni of Rivers South East Senatorial District, marched from the State School 1 to the Police Area Command headquarters, all in Bori.
-     -     Some of the placards displayed by the protesting youths read: “we say no to stigmatization of Magnus Abe,” “say no to military occupation in Ogoni.”
-      -    According to Senator Lee Maeba, it was those selfish politicians from Ogoni extraction who want to use the military to create the impression that Ogoni was not safe, and thereby force the rescheduling of the re-run elections at all cost.
       CULLED FROM THE PIONEER.
