Prof. Kimse Okoko, former President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), has warned of an imminent danger in Bayelsa State, except Governor Seriake Dickson annuls a land deal with the Fulani herdsmen.
According to The Guardian Okoko told journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, that the 1200 hectares of land that he allocated to them was defective because 75 per cent of the state is covered by water.
He warned that the state might become another flashpoint like Kaduna, Enugu, Anambra and Plateau states where the indigenous communities have been having bloody confrontation with herdsmen.
He condemned the manhandling of a female activist, Ann Kio-Briggs by alleged government officials while protesting against the policy.
Okoko, who is the chairman of the association of pro-chancellors in the country, also faulted the proposed establishment of African University in the state, at a time when it is unable to adequately fund the existing Niger Delta University.
