Dr. Oreh stated that the hospital denied the allegation, explaining that the baby who was born prematurely was receiving care at its Special Baby Unit.

Commercial motorcyclists in Gokana LGA have taken to the streets to protest what they describe as increasing extortion by police officers stationed at various checkpoints.

The protesting riders, operating under the banner of the Gokana Okada Union, marched to the palace of His Royal Majesty, King Solomon Ndigbara, Mene Bua Bori, calling for his intervention in what they termed “unbearable” illegal levies imposed by security operatives.

Reports say the amount allegedly collected from each rider has risen from one hundred to five hundred naira per checkpoint, a situation the union claims has severely affected their daily income.

Responding to the protest, King Ndigbara commended the riders for maintaining peace during their demonstration. He assured them that their complaints would be addressed through dialogue with the appropriate security authorities and community leaders.

The monarch further appealed to the riders to remain law-abiding as efforts are made to find a lasting solution to the problem.

Former MOSOP President Reaffirms Oyigbo as Ogoni Territory

Former President of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, Legborsi Pyagbara, has asserted that Oyigbo Local Government Area belongs historically to the Ogoni people.

Speaking on the issue, Mr. Pyagbara maintained that the current inhabitants of Oyigbo are migrants who crossed from a neighbouring state across the Imo River, and therefore, cannot claim ownership of the land.

He further explained that the creation of Oyigbo Local Government Area does not in any way strip the Ogoni people of their ancestral rights to the area.

Mr. Pyagbara also recounted a historical incident in 1994, when fourteen communities around Ban-goi were reportedly displaced during a military operation, which he described as a deliberate attempt by some Igbo elements, allegedly led by Major Obi and Paul Okontimu, to extend Igbo influence into Ogoniland.

He concluded by calling for historical justice and recognition of Ogoni territorial rights within Rivers State.
