Meanwhile, thousands of angry youths in Bayelsa state on Tuesday staged a demonstration in support of the EFCC over the arrest and detention of Turna, former special adviser to an erstwhile Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The youths, under the aegis of the Concerned Citizens of Bayelsa state and led by their coordinators, Chief Harrow Zuokomor and Comrade Abule Bethel, said though the state was still in shock at the magnitude of seized funds and projects it was meant for in some parts of the state, the protest was to commend the EFCC and ask the anti-graft agency to return the seized fund to the state for development purposes.
