Bizman Alleges Threat To Life …Seeks Police , Govt’s Intervention
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Delta Technology and Property Limited, Engr Stephen Nyegwa, has raised an alarm over attempt by some unknown men to eliminate him, alleging that his life is in serious danger.
Engr Nyegwa, therefore, called on the police and the Rivers State Government to save his life from the men of the underworld.
The Managing Director, who gave the indication in an interview in Port Harcourt, said the call has become necessary following several attacks on his life.
He narrated how he narrowly escaped death at two different occasions, and pointed accusing fingers to one Mike Oyaghiri, whom he accused of land grabbing, and allegedly working for one Eze Bekwele Attam.
The Rumuaghulo-born business merchant hinted that the first attempt on his life occurred at Eligbarada in Emohua Local Government Area,on his way to Zone 16 to honour an invitation by the AIG ,along the East- West Road, where he was allegedly double- crossed by a hilux van, allegedly owned by the said Mike Oyaghiri.
He revealed that he managed to escape through the assistance of the villagers, which resulted to the recovery of the attackers’ arms by the police.
Engr Nyegwa further disclosed that the second attempt took place a few days ago, at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, after returning from an invitation by the Zone 7, Abuja, an invitation, which he alleged the said Mike Oyaghiri refused to honour.
He alleged that on arrival at the airport, some unknown police officers accosted him, with the intention to arrest him, but that they were resisted by some policemen attached to him.
He, therefore,appealed to the police authorities and the Rivers State Government to intervene on the matter, to avoid the breakdown of law and order .
When contacted, the accused, Mike Oyaghiri denied all the allegations levelled against him, saying he had a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU) with Rumuagholu Community on land recovery which 30 percent of it will go to him.
He alleged that Engr Stephen Nyegwa’s late father was part of the Memorandum of Understanding, and urged the police to investigate to unravel the truth.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, said she was not aware of the matter, as she did not have such a report.
She, however, promised to find out, and get back to the press.
