A loyalist of the candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, in the re-run National Assembly elections in Rivers
State, Senator Magnus Abe has been buried alive.
The man, Pabby Koryene who is also a leader of the APC, in Yeghe
Community, which is the home town of the embattled former Niger-Delta militant
leader, Solomon Ndigbara popularly called ‘Osama Bin Laden’ in Gokana Local
government area of the state had been kidnapped 2 weeks ago after the military
raid on the community.
The Kinsmen of Pabby had raised alarm that armed youths working
under the instruction of ‘Osama’ took the APC chieftain out of the community.
Meanwhile, speaking at media conference in Port Harcourt,
Senator Abe told journalists that the people were simply being killed because
they belonged to a political party.
Abe called on the federal government to end what he described as
the senseless killing of members of the All Progressive Congress in Rivers
State.
According to him, “Pabby Koryene, a member of the community in
the APC was abducted by the said Solomon Ndigbara, taken into the forest and
every report we have is that Pabby has been buried alive.
“Nobody has been questioned, nothing has happened in these
instances. We continue to say that endangering the lives of APC members is not
the party for progress, prosperity or success of the Government of Governor
Nyesom Wike.
“Now that I am still alive, I am calling on the authorities to
put a stop to this senseless slaughter of the members of the APC in Rivers
state. This cannot be the Nigeria we all want.
“All that I am guilty of is that I have indicated interest in
running to be members of the Senate of the Federal republic of Nigeria to serve
my people.
“I want to appeal to the authorities, I want to appeal to the
IG, I want to appeal to the police that they can’t claim they are not aware of
all the things Nyesom has been saying.”
