The Dean, College of Post Graduate School at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Professor Good Wilson, has denied an allegation that he was involved in an attempted kidnap of the paramount ruler of Egbolom community and the CDC Chairman of the community in Abua-Odual local government area of Rivers State.
The Youth President of Egbolom, Mr. Godspower Frank, had earlier accused Dr. Mike Ogidim, Professor Good Wilson, Professor Ibeganor Otarakor, Ella Sunday and Monday Onwubiko, of masterminding the attempted kidnap of some individuals in the community on March 24th this year.
Speaking with our correspondent on behalf of the other accused persons, Professor Good Wilson, who denied knowledge or their involvement in the alleged kidnap attempt, explained that the accused persons are members of Egbolom Progressive Union, who are only interested in the development of the community.
The Professor said, “I have never been a ruffian talk of this time that I am a responsible public officer. To arrange for kidnap of people in my community, No, j did jot do so. So, whosoever presents or parades the story that I am involved in kidnap of people inc community, I am not aware. All this time, we have been struggling to see that the organisation grows, all of a sudden, a group of hoodlums hijacked powers from the community.”
Also speaking Mr. Aselemi Wilson, said his father cannot dent his reputation by getting involved in any attempted kidnap, and emphasized that Professor Wilson will take legal action against Mr. Godspower Frank, if he fails to retract the allegation and apologize within seven days.
Wilson said, “I’m using this medium to call Mr kenoyi goodluck rufus, prosper Frank, particularly Prosper Frank who mentioned the name of my father as the one who orchestrated the alleged kidnap in Egbolom community, to with immediate effect , 7days from today, to withdraw that inflammatory statement against my father, character and person of my father. Otherwise, let them get ready to contend with my father in court where they fail to retract that inflammatory publication.”
Some men dressed in coverall were alleged to have invaded Egbolom community on March 24, this year, and attempted to kidnap the paramount ruler and some indigenes of the community.
