Four executive members of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide yesterday accused National President Jonathan Lokpobiri of high-handedness.
Secretary-General Maobuye Obu; National Women Leader Miracle Iyaye; National Legal Adviser Tamunotonye David and National Deputy Director of Mobilisation Abiye Bob-Manuel also accused him of abuse of power.
At a press conference in Port Harcourt, the group asked the police to investigate Lokpobiri over the killing and maiming of Ijaw youths during the recent IYC Eastern zone election.
The leaders from the Eastern Zone claimed that Lokpobiri had been running the council as his personal estate. Speaking on their behalf, Obu condemned the September 14 killings in Abuloma and demanded a probe.
The group traced the genesis of the violent incident to alleged manipulation and external interferences brought into the electoral process by Jonathan.
