PRESS RELEASE
The Delta State Elders, Leaders and Stakeholders Forum
yesterday led a protest to submit petition against Elder Godsday Orubebe for
economic crimes. Subsequently, Elder Orubebe sent thugs to Chief Clark’s house
to beat up one Mr. Lawrence Okojie, a cameraman of TV Continental for covering
the protest.
The beating of the cameraman was masterminded by one Sunny
Clark who ran away with the Camera and tape of TV Continental while Sunny
Clark’s boys namely Zenibo Doubra, Sam. E. Amana, Victor, Raymond Fred, Timi
Alale and Potoki Etulumor beat up the cameraman to the point of death!
The Police arrested Zenibo Doubra, Sam. E. Amana, Victor,
Raymond Fred, Timi Alale and Potoki Etulumor and were detained at Asokoro
Police Station. On hearing of the arrest, Elder Orubebe sent one ACP Abutu
Yaro, a former Area Commander in Warri Division to apply for their bail. ACP
Yaro, who came to Asokoro Police Station in a Landcruser Jeep, on the order of
Elder Orubebe, asked the boys to return the camera and tape of TV Continental,
which serves as the bail condition.
The Cameraman, Mr. Lawrence Okojie has instituted N5billion
suit against Elder Orubebe.
In the light of the weighty allegations of corruption against
Mr. Orubebe coupled with his many sins and failure to deliver on his mandate we
demand for his immediate resignation as cabinet member. Besides, we call on
anti-graft agencies to commence the immediate investigation of all allegations
of corruption against the Minister in the interest of fairness and justice. As
for his unbridled 2015 Governorship ambition, we wish to maintain that the
Chief Edwin Clark has spoken. There is no way he can make it. He can never be
the Governor of Delta State.
