According to him: “We call on all well-meaning Nigerians, Delta citizens and security agencies to pick keen interest in this matter and demand an immediate, transparent investigation. The people deserve to know the truth. The culture of impunity must end.
“How long shall we keep quiet while our youths are destroyed and our communities turned into theatres of chaos by drug lords hiding behind political masks? Let this serve as a rallying call. Nigeria is not for sale and Delta State is not a playground for narcotic-sponsored anarchy”, Wealth said in a statement issued yesterday.
