The ugly incident occurred at the weekend when the youth activist visited his community, Bakana in the Degema Local Government Area to attend to important family issues. Comrade Odum who is also the chairman of the Ijaw Youth Council, Kalabari chapter was said to have sustained injury when the gunmen opened fire at him. During the senseless operation, a teenager aged 14 was killed; the driver to the IYC boss and five (5) others sustained life threatening injuries.
Narrating his ordeal to our correspondent in a telephone chat Comrade Prince Odum alleged that the evil plot against him was masterminded by members of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the area through one Minama who was monitoring his movement when he (Odum) visited the community.
According to the Kalabari IYC boss the gunmen actually opened fire at him, but God saved him mysteriously. The Bakana Prince described the action as the handiwork of the enemies of the Bakana community and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He said that he does not want anything that will bring crisis in the community, that is why he is always preaching peace and justice.
Comrade Odum accused the perpetrators of the evil acts of Sea piracy, robbery and gangsterism. The IYC chieftain maintained that no amount of threat or intimidation will retard him from working for the progress of the Bakana community, PDP and Kalabari as a whole.
