AN Ijaw pressure group, Ijaw Peoples Congress, IPC, has called on the Inspector-General of Police  to stop the vindictive name-calling in connection with the assassination of Mr. Simon Oguma in Warri by unseen persons in December 2010, particularly the recent arrest of Mr. Paul Tusemone.

In a statement by its national president, Mr Ekanpou Enewaridideke, the group maintained that  Tusemone, who was arrested, had no hand in the matter.

The group which condemned the assassination, said “who killed Mr.  Oguma in Warri in the early part of December, 2010 and we insist that the police should investigate and bring the perpetrators to book, so that the society can be freed from the menace of assassination.”

Besides, Enewaridideke argued that “the dragging of Paul Tusemone’s name into the murder case was a vindictive attempt by one notorious man in the Oguma family, who has legal cases with  Tusemone in different courts in Warri to victimise him and run away from the ongoing suits.

“The dragging of  Tusemone’s name into the murder case is secretly masterminded by the man to punish him for going to court with him.”

He, however, called on the new Commissioner of Police in Delta State “to wade into the matter and free him because  Tusemone has nothing to do with the murder. And right from the day of  the murder, Tusemone’s name was never mentioned in the matter.”
