Rt. Hon. Konbowie Benson Responsible For The Killings in Korokorosei Not Darlon Security And Guards – Preye Oseke

The Public Relations Manager of Darlong Security and Guards , Mr. Preye Oseke, has dismissed the allegations, that the company was involved in criminal and illegal acts, in its operations.

He said “This issues of killings, Mr. Speaker Rt. Hon. Benson Konbowei have questions to answer and not Darlon Security and Guards, because he was invited to the DSS office over issues of killings in Korokorosei over a year ago, there was no personnel from Darlon Security and Guards Ltd that was invited by the DSS because we were never involved in the crisis in Korokorosei.”

He described the allegations against Darlon Security and Guards as “ill-conceived, malicious, unfounded and politically motivated.

He said,  “Darion as a responsible and law-abiding firm, operates within the ambits of the law” stressing that its operations had created jobs to more than 4,000 youths hitherto engaged in oil theft and other sundry crimes in the creeks of Bayelsa.

He said, “The state government and the State House of Assembly are the ones accusing Darlon security of killing some persons, but who did we kill? Mr. Oseke asked.

According to him, “Government have the capacity to arrest and prosecute any individual that is stockpiling arms, the company is saddled with the responsibility of securing the waterways and ensuring that it is free of bunkering activities.”

 ” we cannot join issues with government on these allegations, if government claims any crime was committed, it has the capacity to go after the individual(s) that have committed the alleged crime. Government should not be sponsoring press conferences one after the other, if there are killing as alleged, go after the person(s) arrest and prosecute them“.

He maintained that Darlon Security and Guards Ltd, stands on its earlier statement, that the security outfit and its personnel do not bear arms, but work with conventional security such as the JTF (Operation Delta Safe), Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Nigeria Police and the Department of State Service, DSS, noting that suspects arrested in the course of its duty are handed over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.

On the issue of the motion raised in the House of Representatives,  he said “We are waiting for the invitation, it is a normal process, we will go there and make our presentation we have nothing to hide. We have never been involved in any kind of criminality.”
