PORT HARCOURT—NO death has generated more serious attention in Rivers State in the last five years than that of the former Commander of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, and repentant militant leader, Soboma George. He meant different things to different people in the state and beyond.

Only a few days ago, they were landlords in their own right. Some were wives of landlords and others their children.

He was asked if he really intends to sue the Socio-Economic Rights And Accountability Project that has been harassing him over the Okigbo report, as threatened by his media aide, Kazeem Afegbua.

Attempts to stop last Monday’s Competency Test among Senior Federal Government civil servants failed even as those who led the protests did not only register but indeed participated in the test. The test was written but the civil servants are not yet done with their protestation against what they described as an arbitrariness and insisted that the result of the test must not be used in place of promotion examination.

UP TILL yesterday, it was still accusation and counter-accusation between Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) and the United Ufuoma Fish Farmers Association, Ekpan in Uvwie local government area of Delta State over the July 22 pollution of the largest fish farm in the Niger-Delta with about 6,000 fish ponds.
