The leadership of the INYC led by Comr. Weyinmi Agbateyiniro was informed yesterday by some indigenes and youth executive of Ifiekporo Community at about 5pm that some Naval Men just drove into the community and started shooting sporadically without any hitherto crisis or confusion in the community, hence the INYC immediately mobilized to the community.
On their way to the community the Army boss in charge of Warri South got the wind of the INYC mobilization and immediate led his men to meet with them on their way to Ifie and stopped the move in that force and anger the Council was going with.
The Army Boss begged the INYC that, it is unfortunate that what happened has happened and promised it wont happen again, hence he begged the Council to be calm and help in handling the situation rather than escalating it.
Before the Army Boss spoke the President of the INYC Comr. Weyinmi Agbateyiniro in anger told the Military Boss and his men that the continuous shooting of Itsekiri youths by both the military and the police is one too many and won't be tolerated any more. He went on to state that in communities where they do bunkering people are not being killed but in peaceful Itsekiri Community like Ifie killing of the youth is now like a leisure game to the Military and Nigerian Police. He said the council have no other choice than to respond because the life of every Itsekiri is important to the INYC.
