Mr Eteka Etim, the leader of the group, said he agreed to suspend the action as requested by the Oron Area Commander Mr Ene Okon to convince the public, law and security agencies that they are law abiding citizens.

The youth leader explained that they took the decision to puncture the blackmail being peddled in government circles that the youths were obstructing development.

Etim said that the youth group had compromised in order to pave the way for an expedited resolution of all outstanding matters with Universal Energy Resources.

‘’We have adhered to the undertaking, have suspended action as requested , and it now behooves the operator of the field and the authorities of the command to follow same in the interest of peace and mutual co-existence.”
