Leader of Ijaw Nation, Chief Edwin Clark has bared his mind on the recent killings of soldiers in Delta State.
The elder statesman man said: “Well that is difficult to believe. I don’t think we should expect this thing. Let’s look at ourselves. As I said, I spoke to the Lt. Col. on Thursday and he went to the place on Thursday and died.”
“Except they had information they were going to Okuama. Otherwise, nobody knew they were going there.”
“People to come from outside to waylay them, to surround them is a matter they should investigate. We can’t rule anything out but at the same time let us look at ourselves.”
“The leaders of the various communities must be brought together, and find out from them, nobody should be treated as a sacred cow.”
“I may say this: I am an Ijaw man and I will be the last person to allow this type of matter to degenerate to a situation whereby we have intercommunal fracas or fight.”
