OPEN LETTER TO DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT ON ABUSE Of OFFICE BY SOME OSHIMILI SOUTH COUNCILLORS AND CALL FOR INVESTIGATIONS INTO EXTORTIONS THAT WILL AFFECT THE IMAGE LAUNDERING OF DELTA STATE PDP.
Petition for Investigation into Harassment by Local Government Officials with mobile number 07034604993
To the Commissioner of Police,
Asaba, Delta State.
I am writing to bring to your attention the continuous harassment that our client by name Dr. Basil Nwankwo has been receiving from some officials who claim they are from the Local Government Council. These officials have been trying to stop him from using his car as a mobile shop to sell herbal drugs for his numerous customers.
We also engaged with the Chairman Committee on Environment so as to address this incessant and continuous harassment from state actors but all efforts were to no avail despite we were promised that this issue will be addressed. We also had an encounter today 26th of April 2023, they came and closed his mobile shop and threatened him not to open and make sales anymore until he settles them financially.
We informed them that we are presently in Federal High Court with NAFDAC for same reasons but they downplayed us. We even called the mobile 07034604993 to reason with him but he started threatening us.
Despite having all the necessary licenses and permits to operate his business, these officials continue to harass and intimidate our client, causing him great distress and financial loss. Their actions have even led to a decline in his business, as many of my customers are now afraid to approach him for fear of being harassed.
I strongly believe that the actions of these officials are not only unjust but also illegal. As a law-abiding citizen, our Client is entitled to carry out his business activities without fear of harassment or intimidation from anyone, especially from those in positions of authority.
Therefore, we are appealing to you as the Commissioner of Police to launch an investigation into this matter and take appropriate action against those responsible for the harassment. I trust that you will ensure that justice is served and that our client can carry out his business activities without fear of further harassment.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours Faithfully,
Comrade Victor Ojei, popularly called Wong Box
