MOSOP Begs Wike To Resettle 1,248 Stranded Ogonis

Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) has appealed to the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to help resettle 1,248 Ogonis currently stranded and living under terrible conditions in Ouidah, Benin Republic.
Publicity Secretary of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke in a statement said the call became necessary after a meeting he held with representatives of Ogoni refugees in Benin Republic, recently.
Nsuke, who expressed shock over the terrible conditions of the refugees especially, women and children, some of whom are pregnant and lack basic medical care, urged the Rivers State governor to consider the need to resettle the Ogonis as an emergency.
The statement reads, “It is critically expedient that the case of 1,248 Ogonis who are willing to return home and are currently wasting away and dying in Benin Reublic be considered by the government.
”I will urge the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, not to be silent over this but to take the responsibility as Governor to wade into this matter and rescue those that are still alive”.
