The Ijaw National Congress (INC) worldwide has condemned in strong terms the September 14 killings in Abuloma during the ljaw Youth Council elections.

This is contained in a statement by Chief Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, National Publicity Secretary, INC, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Abuja yesterday. Oyakemeagbegha described the killings as unwarranted, senseless and tragic.

According to him, Ijaws are not known to be violent in nature, particularly when what was involved, (elections) is supposed to be a family affair. He said: “Aside, it beats all reasonable imaginations that people who were supposed to be aspiring to serve the people turned around to massacre the same people in the most bestial manner.

“The INC calls for calm, while it expects the security agencies to do very thorough investigations and fish out the culprits.”
