Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, MOSOP,has alerted on the resurgence of violence in most Ogoni communities, as eightpeople died in the latest attack on Sunday.
President of MOSOP, Legborsi Pyagbara, in an issuedstatement on Sunday night in Port Harcourt, said enemies of the area wereperpetrating the violence.
He noted that MOSOP and other stakeholders have beenmeeting to restore peace to the area and wondered why certain interest groupswere bent on thwarting the peace initiatives with their continued attacks onlives and properties in the area.
Pyagbara lamented that those who did not want peacein Ogoni-land, were trying their best to bring the area under siege. Accordingto him, six of the victims are from Opouko community and two from Luumene areaof the LGA.
He added that the residence of the Khana CouncilChairman, Mr. Lateh Loolooh and the palace of the Gbenemene Banghan, ChiefSuanu Baridam, were burnt down during the attack.
