Egbesu Brotherhood To NASS; Complete NDDC Probe Expose all Indicted in 2 Weeks

By Ezekiel Kagbala fpr

Niger Delta group, the Egbesu brotherhood has given two weeks to the interim management committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC and the National Assembly probe panel to conclude investigations into looting and curruption aligations bedeviling the commission.

The spiritual leader of the group, Comrade Ellington Bakumor in a statement to FocalPoint Reports in Delta State, urged the National Assembly to

make public those involve in the alleged looting of the resources meant for the region's development.

Backing the Forensic Audit, Bakumor charged the NDDC substantive board to use independent body and organizations for the probe and avoid hiding any curruption aligations hovering over the commission under the interim management committee headed by Prof Pondei.

Discribing the turn of events at the National Assembly probe on the NDDC as embarrassing, he warned that no fraud against the Niger Delta People must be swept under the carpet but published no matter whom it may concern.

In his words he said "We support the On going Probe by the National Assembly to audit to the extent that the list of every company or individual that has taken part in the mismanagement and merciless looting of our collective wealth should be published irrespective of the owners profile".

"That we are embarrassed by the wickedness of our own Niger delta leaders like Akpabio, hence we support the probe of the national assembly on the Interim Management Committee and any fraud related activities within the NDDC".

"That we will resist any form of arm twisting Or blackmail that will result to the end of the national assembly probe, as it is the collective destiny of our people that is being carted away through fraud and financial misappropriations".

"That we are giving two weeks to the Interim management committee and national assembly probe panel to conclude the investigations and show Niger Delta people and indeed Nigerians those involved in the day light robbery of our people".

"That we support for the Forensic Audit and the need to put in place the substantive board to hire credible independent globally recognized body to carry out the probe".

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country.

He said that they owe i
