Gbaramatu Kingdom (Oporoza Community precisely) in Delta state, was invaded by Nigerian soldiers and went away with 10 boys from the community. The invasion happened on the 28th of May 2016. The soldiers claimed they were looking for Niger-Delta avengers that are bombing the oil pipelines. The soldiers looted properties and raped several woman at Oporoza community which is the head quarter of the Kingdom, and also put the Monarch (the King) of the Kingdom on house arrest and also collected the staff of office that belongs to the King, also known as Egbesu golden sword. Nigerian army stealing properties is so astonishing to hear. The JTF (soldiers) invasion made the whole community ran into the forest, and some mothers and children slept in the forest for days. Ten (10) boys were arrested by the soldiers on that day, accusing them of being part of the Avengers. The boys are not members of any avengers neither do they have any connection with the avengers, they are innocent and some of them are students studying at the community secondary school, some are the community citizens, palace cook and strangers living in the community. Today makes it 46 days since the boys were arrested, and are still with the Nigerian army. These boys are innocent, real avengers will not be sleeping in bed for soldiers to come and arrest them. Even if the soldiers see the real avengers now, they can't do anything to them. Since the bombing of pipelines, Nigerian army have arrested so many innocent people from Gbaramatu Kingdom. Today, at Ijaw women took to the streets of warri Delta state to protest, demanding the FG to release the innocent boys arrested 46 days ago. The protest was done early hours this morning, which left people crying to FG to order the military to release the arrested boys.They deserve to live. Soldiers also invaded other Gbaramatu Communities and made away with properties. I do not know why Gbaramatu Kingdom is the only place soldiers come in search of avengers. Is it only in Gbaramatu oil pipelines were blown up? Making peaceful innocent citizens to run into the forest for nothing. Some even lost their lives and children and the Nigerian Government is not saying anything. How can FG deploy100 gunboats, warships and fighter jets to Gbaramatu Kingdom in search of avengers. Even Boko Haram that have have been killing innocent citizens for years were not fought with fighter jets. The Federal government of Nigeria only value the Niger-Delta oil and not the citizens. It's a shame. We the Niger-Deltans want a referendum, we want to go and have our own republic. The place producing oil is not developed, instead the oil money is being used to develop the North and the western part of the country, and also they use the oil money to send their children to school abroad. There is no politician in Nigeria that doesn't eat or benefit from the Niger-Delta oil. Since the APC government came in power, many things have changed drastically, Nigerians are suffering more now, inflation everywhere. I reckon this is the change Nigerians wanted. The president doesn't care about the citizens at all. Everyone will die some day, i don't mind dying for saying the truth. Jonathan did not wrong when he handed over power peacefully to Buhari. Instead of the president to work together with everybody, he is fighting Jonathan supporters and PDP members with his so called anti-corruption campaign, but leave those that decamped to APC from PDP. Fighting corruption is good, but please sir, do it fairly. If people like Amaechi and Timipre Sylva are still there in your cabinet and they are not probed, then you have not started the corruption fight, because Amaechi is the father of corruption. He is very wicked and heartless. God is watching everybody, I definitely know things will turn around some day.
Long live Niger-Delta
Long live Niger-Delta republic
And Long live Nigerians.
