In the serene heartland of the Kalabari Kingdom, a sense of urgency has gripped the Edi Abali Group as they voice out against a looming security threat. The ancestral home and treasured assets of a revered community leader have come under the shadow of a potential military incursion. This alarm is not just a cry for help but a clarion call for vigilance and unity.

The public notice issued by the Edi Abali Group is a testament to their resolve, revealing a plot that could unravel the fabric of peace in their community. The target, a paramount ruler currently abroad, has inadvertently become the focal point of a crisis engineered to sow discord and chaos. The military’s alleged plan to capitalize on his absence is a ploy that threatens to cast blame on innocent community members, igniting unwarranted attacks.

At the heart of this tension lies a bold stance taken by the community leader against illicit activities that bleed the nation of its resources. His outspokenness on the army’s alleged involvement in oil bunkering has not gone unnoticed, prompting displeasure among certain factions. The Edi Abali Group fears a deliberate crisis is being orchestrated to justify aggression towards the indigenous people of Kalabari, particularly those in Obuama, where the battalion is stationed.

The group’s spokesperson, Mr. Mpakaboari Pankin Braide, articulates the community’s apprehension, “The army in Obuama is aware of his absence from the country and plans to exploit this to create a crisis, which will be wrongly attributed to community members, leading to attacks on innocent individuals.”

The Edi Abali Group’s appeal to the Nigerian Army is a plea for awareness and restraint, urging them to resist being drawn into actions that could compromise the area’s peace and security. They underscore the longstanding cooperation between the community leader, his company, and security agencies in combating terrorism, kidnapping, and insurgency.

This narrative is not merely about averting a crisis; it’s about reinforcing a commitment to the safety and security of all Nigerians. The group’s message is clear: they stand with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in their efforts to protect the nation.
