A group, the Niger Delta Congress, has called on youths in the region to protect their states and communities amid rising violence and “gang killings” in the area.
The group called on stakeholders and representatives of the region to actively engage the youth in order to find a lasting solution to “the menace.” In a statement signed by its national spokesperson, Mudiaga Ogboru, on Monday, the group denounces “strongly all those who have allowed themselves become agents of sabotage and destructiveness within the region, whose activities are opposed to the socio-economic wellbeing of the Niger Delta.”
The statement read, “Dear Niger Deltans, we would like to use this opportunity to draw the attention of all stakeholders to the recent spike in gang killings in the region, notably in areas within Delta and Edo State which has led to the needless loss of lives and further worsening of the insecurity plaguing the region.
