Speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt, legal representative of the ex-agitator, Eugene Ode, said: “We don’t even know where he is; he is in hiding for his life. The way his house was invaded and destroyed and his family beaten and battered, it is very obviously that if he was on the spot that day, he probably would have been summarily executed.
“We hear now that the military authorities have placed a bounty on him; he is wanted but there is no allegation whatsoever. They have not made any public statement to say this is what this man is wanted for. To us, we think this is beyond the way of the law and we are here to enforce his fundamental human right. Don’t forget, this man is an ex-agitator.
He was one of the first to embrace the Amnesty Programme by the late President Yaradua. This man has surrendered.’
