President Bola Tinubu was called on Sunday by the Centre for Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusade, or CHURAC, to arrest and prosecute people who are storing weapons in order to incite an interethnic conflict in the Warri Federal Constituency.

The call was made in a statement released in Warri on Sunday by Alaowei Cleric Ebikonbowei, Chairman of the CHURAC Board of Trustees.

The group cautioned that some supposedly resentful people should not use the ward demarcation exercise ordered by the Supreme Court and carried out by INEC as a means of inciting an ethnic conflict.

Ebikonbowei praised security personnel for swiftly apprehending a USA army gunrunner and his syndicates and urged the federal government to take swift action to ease ethnic tension.

“We demand that the matter should be thoroughly investigated with no stone left unturned and the identified culprits be brought to book in accordance with the laws of the land. Nobody is above the law. No one involved in the proliferation of arms and ammunition to Warri should be treated as a sacred cow.

“Nigeria is a country with equal justice. If we must avert the looming ethnic crisis in Warri being orchestrated by some highly placed persons as evidenced in the recent arrest of arms smugglers and their acolytes, then every suspected person, no matter his or her position in the society, should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted if found culpable.

“Security agents should act fast to nip in the bud by placing surveillance on ethnic actors who are probably aggrieved by the outcome of INEC Ward delineation exercise thus, want to push willing and uninformed youth into inter-ethnic crisis.”

“Crisis in Warri is a crisis that will affect the economy of the nation, people of goodwill should be on alert to expose those bent on fomenting trouble in the Warri Federal Constituency.
