MOSOP condemns the killing of polytechnic lecturer

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has condemned in the strongest terms the assassination of Dr. Vincent Eebe, a lecturer with the Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori.

President of MOSOP, Legborsi Saro Pyagbara made the condemnationon Fridayin Port Harcourt in reaction to the killings.

The MOSOP President expressed shock at the death of Dr. Eebe and called for immediate investigations into the killing. Mr. Pyagbara called on the police to ensure that the perpetrators of this act are brought to justice.

A statement issued last night in Port Harcourt and signed by MOSOP Publicity Secretary Fegalo Nsuke said: “MOSOP considers this sustained tendency of killings as most unnecessary and unfortunate as it in no way help to resolve our peculiar disadvantaged circumstance but had painted Ogoni in bad light and destroyed the gains of our collective struggle for justice.

“On several occasions, MOSOP has advised our people against allowing Ogoni to be a theatre of killings and violence as the implications and effects are borne by Ogoni and Ogoni alone.

“We thus passionately call on the police and all security agencies to investigate this recent incident with a view to bringing the culprits and their sponsors to justice
