President of Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Pereotubo Oweilaemi has faulted the protest by some youths in Delta communities over alleged infringement on pipelines surveillance contract by Captain Idahosa Okunbo
Some people in the community accuse the youths of being sponsored to tarnish the image of Captain Okunbor
Oweilaemi querried the rationale behind what he described as “ill-advised protest march” against a man who had created thousands of jobs in the region.
The IYC president said the issues surrounding the purported hijack of the pipeline surveillance contract along the Trans-Forcados Pipeline taking crude oil from the communities to the Forcados Terminal had been cleared.
