A former Commissioner for Higher Education in Delta State, Professor Patrick Muoboghare, has reacted to the invitation extended to him by the State Police Command over alleged terrorism and gun running.
Muoboghare, while denying the allegations, said he would honour the invitation to clear his name of any wrongdoing.
The Delta State Police Command had invited the former commissioner and university don as an accomplice over alleged terrorism, gun running and drug peddling allegations the command is investigating.
Also invited over the said allegations are some community leaders of Uwheru Kingdom in Ughelli North Local Government Area, including one Mr. Obukohwo Ekpevwru, said to be the primary suspect under investigation.
Others invited include the President General of Uwheru Kingdom, Chief Macpherson Igbedi and nine others.
But reacting to invitation in a statement on Sunday, Prof Muoboghare said “I shall honour the invitation extended to me by the Delta State command of the Nigeria Police Force, to interview or interrogate the ACP of the CP’s X squad on infantile allegations of terrorism, gun running and stocking hard substances.”
Revealing those behind the allegations, he said, “Some insane characters, goaded by more insane paymasters, some on government payroll, made the allegations.
“The invitation provides an opportunity for me to tell DTS Police command directly, where the terrorists are in Delta State and who they are, with the hope that the command will have the courage to go after them and which I doubt very much.
“I believe that NSA, NIA, DMI, DSS, the Police Force Headquarters, the Governor and Local Government Chairmen know where the terrorists are in Delta State. Should the Police feign ignorance on Monday, I will prove to them that they know.
“Foreign terrorists known to the authorities have taken over Delta State, but there is a lack of national policy to deal with the scourge and the government and I know this.”
