The Chiefs, elders, leaders of thought and the entire people of Igbomotoru community in a well-attended general meeting held on Wednesday the 7th of September, 2022 in Igbomotoru have resolved from henceforth to cease to admit in its fold or recognize Aseimieghe Ayibaikie Ofongo as the paramount ruler of the community. The motion to the effect was moved by Chief Goodnews Jonathan, seconded by Chief Jeremiah Young and adopted by the entire community.
This follows his balkanization of the community into factions, the serial breach of the constitution of the community and conniving with Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), Darlon Oil and Gas Limited and Mr David Lyon, Agip surveillance contractor to lead soldiers to invade the community for selfish ends. More than that, the soldiers burnt down properties, dehumanize women and children, young and old and are carrying out indiscriminate arrests of natives since the 22nd of June, 2022.
The community also at the meeting, sent a save our soul message to the His Excellency, the Governor of Bayelsa State, Sen. Douye Diri to wade into their plight as the military men, stationed in the houseboats in the community owed by Mr David Lyon, and named after his biological daughter “IFIEMI” has refused building materials, medical supplies food and other necessaries to freely enter into the community even when it is not at war with any individual, company or government.
The people of Igbomotoru also used the occasion to alert the International Community of the ill fate that has befallen them over the abdominal acts of Nigerian Agip Oil Company, Darlon Oil and Gas, Mr. David Lyon and the deposed Aseimieghe Ayibaikie Ofongo.
