Description

Youths in Rivers State under the auspices of Rivers State Youth Leaders Coalition (RSYLC) have raised the alarm over alleged attempt to assassinate the president of Ogoni Youth Federation (OYF), Legborsi Yamaabana, by some thugs dressed in police uniform.

Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, spokesman of RSYLC, Tamunobelema Tamunoimama, said the attempted assassination of Yamaabana was a matter of grave concern especially during this time of political crises in the state.

Tamunoimama urged the police in Rivers State to expedite action in unraveling the hired killers and their sponsors.

He said, “The attempt to kill Legborsi cannot, truthfully speaking, be pardoned on the score of manners, nor justified on that of law. The report on the assassination attempt on the life of Legborsi is a matter of grave concern because it occurs at a time the state is facing destabilising crisis and threat to its peaceful co-existence.

“The Rivers State Youth Leaders Coalition, an amalgamation of all indigenous youth leaders and youth groups in Rivers State, totally condemns in its entirety, the assassination attempt made on the life of our leader.
