• Say attack on HYPREP is attack on Ogoni people

Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

A coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Rivers State has condemned a recent protest staged against the current leadership of Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) over the clean-up of Ogoni land.

The coalition made the condemnation during a media briefing in Port Harcourt yesterday.

They alleged that recently Muekara Monday, who claimed he was acting under the aegis of Ogoni CSOs, rented a crowd and held a protest march in Abuja, casting aspersion on HYPREP and its Coordinator and threatening more protests on a spurious allegation of non-performance by HYPREP.
