Activist Protests Abduction Of Journalist By Tompolo …Petitions IG, SSS

Human rights lawyer, Festus Kayamo has issued a 72 hours ultimatum to the Director of State Security Service and the Inspector General of Police to urgently investigate former Niger Delta militant, Government Tompolo over an alleged threat to his (Keyamo) life and the recent kidnap and attempted murder of 7 young men and some journalists investigating the crises leading to the cancellation of the commissioning of the EPZ Project by President Jonathan two days earlier.
According to Keyamo, he will proceed to court in defence of those assaulted and harassed by Tompolo’s boys who were against any form of investigation in the area. Abuja.
In a petion titled FURTHER ACTS OF TERROR (KIDNAPPING, TORTURE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER) BY GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO (TOMPOLO) IN DELTA STATE: FINAL ULTIMATUM, Keyamo said,  the following persons who were kidnapped, tortured and nearly killed (along with some journalists) by the hirelings of one Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) on Sunday, November 16, 2014, in Delta State: 1.) Mr. Eyengho B. Samuel 2.) Tokunbor Oluwaleye 3.) Kelvin Tuduo 4.) Ekpen 5.) Edema Eburajolor 6.) Otos Lemun and 7.) Dolor Emmanuel.
According to Keyamo, on their way from Ogidingben after their assignments, the seven escorts and the journalists were stopped in their boats and blocked by more than ten other boats loaded with fierce-looking and armed hooligans around an area called Tebujo, which is also near an area called Opuraja. The seven escorts and the journalists were then evacuated from their boat into one of the boats of the hooligans. Along the line, Tompolo called and spoke with one of the journalists and he confirmed that he sent the hooligans to accost them and that they should “co-operate” with his boys.
The seven boys and the journalists were then taken to Tompolo’s house in Opuraja where they were beaten to pulp by Tompolo’s boys. The cameras of the journalists were all seized and the memory cards were removed so that they could not show what they went to cover, he added.
Also, a Human rights activist Barrister Anyankwe Nsirimovu, said it was shocking Nigerian Journalists in course of an official, legitimate assignment in Delta state, were kidnapped by Chief Government Ekpemupolo, an ex-militant leader and those still under his command, in complete violation of the right to liberty and security of the affected  persons.
In a  press statement, he issued as chair of Niger Delta Civil Society Coalition(NDCSC) Nsirimovu  listed those involved  as South-South Regional Editor of the Vanguard newspaper, Mr. Emma Amaize, South-South Editor of the Nation newspaper, Mr.  Shola O’Neil, a repoter with Daily Independent, Mr. Emma Arubi, Channels TV cameraman/reporter and others at Oporoza in Gbaramatu Kingdom.
According to him, the  fundamental law, from which all other laws and authorities in Nigeria, derive their validity, namely the Nigerian Constitution  is unambiguous on the fact that no one shall be deprived of his liberty, save in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law. The subjection to the rule of law of all forms of arrest and  detention  is perhaps, after the right to life itself, the most fundamental human right.
