Ikanya had said that “Neenwi is a strong ally of Senator
Magnus Abe and staunch APC member Until his
assassination, the late Neenwi was a known critic of Wike
and his ex-militant leader and collaborator, Solomon
Ndigbara, who also hails from Yeghe community.”
Ikanya had said that Wike and his alleged ally were
responsible for the killing of Neenwi and his companions in
Nonwa Tai.

Reacting, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in the state, Mr.
Samuel Nwanosike, described the accusation as
irresponsible and capable of bringing about a breakdown
of law and order in the state.
Nwanosike said: “We will take every step to press legal
charges against Ikanya, so that he will know how to
conduct himself in a democratic environment. We are
going to press charges against him to serve as a deterrent
to anybody that will want to overheat the polity in the
state.

“We are calling on the security to do a thorough
investigation into the killings in the state and make the
report open for once so that the reports and accusations by
the Chairman of APC will come to an end.
“It is unfortunate that Iknaya has shown lack of capacity to
be the chairman of a political party in the state. How will
the governor of the state connive with Solomon Ndigbara
to take the life of any person?”
