PORT HARCOURT — The Ogoni Liberation Initiative (OLI) has said insecurity, rather than the resumption of oil exploration, remains the major concern of the people of Ogoniland.
Leader of OLI, Dr. Fabeke Douglas, who stated this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, expressed concern that some Ogoni leaders were focusing on oil exploration while security challenges continued to threaten lives and livelihoods in the area.
Douglas alleged that efforts to draw the attention of stakeholders to the insecurity situation had been met with hostility, adding that criminal elements were exploiting the situation to the detriment of the people.
He accused local government authorities in the area of failing to adequately protect lives and property, claiming that communities were being attacked by criminals.
