The leadership of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide, has warned young people against engaging in politically motivated protests capable of destabilising the Niger Delta region.
The President of IYC, Peter Timothy Igbifa, particularly asked Niger Delta youths to abstain from protests against the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Igbifa, who made his position known in a statement urged parents to monitor the activities of their children and stop them from engaging in any demonstration especially the one targeting the occupation of NDDC headquarters using the name of the IYC.
He said intelligence available to the council indicates that such demonstrations would lead to violence and other unpleasant consequences.
