When Oliver Fejiro, the publisher of Secret Reporters was arrested by the police in Abuja and flown to Asaba, unconfirmed report was that he was arrested on the directives of the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
However, the latest development is that the online journalist who has become a pain in the neck of most politicians in the oil rich State was picked up by the police following a series of petition from politicians and non politicians in the state who the journalist is reported to have used his medium to portray in negative light.
The most recent is that from Senator Ede Dafinone, the senator representing Delta Central District at the Senate and Stella Okotete who at the outset of this regime was nominated as a minister only to be replaced with Festus Keyamo, the current minister of aviation.
Fejiro’s website story, which many considered as demanding, many believed was the reason the woman was dropped then as minister designate and ever since, she has not forgotten or forgive Fejiro.
Both Dafinone and Okotete our source said are part of those who petition him and he has been in detention ever since.
The arrest of Fejiro who is reported to have made so much money from the government of the state in the days of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa’s days as governor by being used to publish sensitive and classified documents of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan actions as governor has equally set confusion into the camp of Okowa as they accuse themselves of masterminding the arrest of the journalist.
“Yes their camp is in disarray. Have you not seen their postings on Facebook. They are now accusing each other of betraying the guy. This is because they are the same people that used him against Uduaghan. They were the ones releasing documents to him about Uduaghan’s government”, our source who is an appointee of Oborevwori said. ” Look at what one of them wrote about the arrest” OLIVER FEGIROS ARREST AND INCARCERATION.
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS SHOULD FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW…..stifling perceived opposition is dangerous to Democracy.
Poor management of issues may counter productive,” he was one of those that used Fejiro against Uduaghan in the days of Okowa”.
Fejiro has been a torn on the flesh of Dafinone since he took over as senator representing Delta Central District from Ovie Omo-Agege. He is the Sowore of Delta State. The way Sowore is the nemesis of politicians/agencies at the federal level so is Fejiro to politicians in Delta State.
