[GRAPHIC IMAGES] IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL SCRIBE ESCAPE ASSASSINATION, ONE KILLED

Hired assassins with AK 47 numbering about four, on Friday invaded the residence of the National General Secretary of Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide, Engr. Emmanuel Bristol Alagbariya brutally murdering one of his Personal Assistant in cold blood and scaring the life out of everyone they met after realizing that their target was not available.

The IYC Scribe who had been fully engrossed in preparation for an upcoming Rivers Ijaw Summit’ in commemoration of 58 years of the Henry Willinks minority commission and celebration of some revered Ijaw heroes for their selfless contributions towards the development of Niger delta, was said to have convened an organising committee meeting of the Rivers Ijaw summit at his residence. While committee members were awaiting his arrival a bus belonging to the National Secretary drove into the compound and was swiftly followed by the assassins who, unknown to the committee members, were all along laying siege outside his compound.

They surrounded everyone believing that the National Secretary of the IYC came in the bus, only to be disappointed that he didn't come in the bus.

In that frustration they proceeded to the room where the committee members were about to meet and ordered everyone to lie flat. It was at that moment that one of the trigger happy assailants for unverifiable reason decided to shoot and kill, Sylva, the Personal Assistant of Comrade Alagbariya.

Engr. Emmanuel Bristol Alagbariya has been a committed and frontline youth in crusade to better the lot of Ijaw and Niger Delta youths. The Rivers Ijaw summit expected to honour Late Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye, Major Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro, Dr. I J M Fiberesima, Chief U.O Ekeneokot and Chief P. J Warmate for their contributions to the Niger delta, Rivers State and Nigeria was another initiative put together by Alagbariya to create the needed awareness and drive a process that would address some of the predicament of youths of Rivers state.

Stakeholders have continued to express shock at the assassination attempt at his life. Security has however been tightened around him and the Rivers Ijaw Summit will proceed as planned on Friday 26th June 2015 at the Atlantic Hall of the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt.
