Dickson orders arrest of APC lawmaker over Brass violence

Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has directed security agencies in the state to arrest and prosecute the legislator representing Brass Constituency I in the state House of Assembly, Israel Sunny-Goli.

Sunni-Goli is accused of allegedly masterminding last month’s crisis in Brass Local Government Area where about four persons were killed. The governor accused police authorities and the Department of State Services (DSS) for failing to arrest the lawmaker despite many petitions against him.

According to a press statement by the governor’s Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, Dickson accused the lawmaker of being responsible for various crimes in Brass Local Government.
