Brass: DCP Kola Okunlola's Molestation, The Facts You Need To Know
The social media has been awash with the story of an abducted Deputy Commissioner of Police in Twon-Brass, the headquarter of Brass local government area.
Investigations have shown that the Deputy Commissioner of Police, identified as Kola Okunlola, wasn’t abducted as earlier widely speculated, but was manhandled by a mob of angry voters who suspected the Deputy commissioner of police was compromised, and attempted to shortchange them.
Trouble was said to have started, when a certain Victor Isaiah, the caretaker chairman of Brass L.G.A, stormed the collation center with a bus load of thugs, and in the company of the PDP candidate for the Brass/Nembe Federal House of Representatives election, Mrs Marie Ebikake, and attempted to stop the collation of results from Nembe-Bassambiri, a community in Nembe L.G.A. The reason for their action was said to be premised on an allegation that the result was doctored, the INEC officials on ground had objected to the allegation from the PDP candidate.

The reason for their action was said to be premised on an allegation that the result was doctored, the INEC officials on ground had objected to the allegation from the PDP candidate.
A Naval officer (Oscar 3) was said to have saved the situation, as he ordered everyone to leave the INEC collation center, he was said to have threatened to handcuff anyone seen around the premises of the collation center who isn’t a staff of INEC.
A second attempt was said to have been made by the same Victor Isaiah, Marie Ebikake and Dickson’s commissioner for education, Jonathan Obuebite, as they were said to be insisting that the said result in question should not be accepted by INEC. Their insistence, was said to have drew the ire of the military personnel stationed at the collation center, and they were again asked to leave and not return.
DCP Kola for no concrete cause, having finished making a phone call, was said to have ordered that the results be relocated to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital. Brass local government council, is said to be the Senatorial headquarters of Bayelsa East Senatorial District, where results from Nembe, Ogbia and Brass local government areas are designated for collation.
All pleas to make Mr Kola rescind his decision fell on deaf ears, as he was said to have remained adamant, thus marching down the INEC personnel and the results in contention, into a waiting military gunboat. When a military officer tried to intervene, he (the military officer) was put on the phone, according to an eyewitness, and whoever it was he spoke with, clearly told the military officer that the Nigerian army has no role in the election. At that point, the military officer announced to his boys, “They said we have no role in the election” so he withdrew from the scene with his boys, and DCP Kola ordered the military gunboat where the election results and INEC staff were kept, to head for Yenagoa, without an APC agent accompanying them, this was said not to have gone down well with the voters who were out to protect their votes, meanwhile, a PDP agent and Gov. Henry Seriake Dickson's commissioner for education, Jonathan Obuebite was said to be lurking around to link up with them on the way.
The action of the voters who kept vigilance over their votes, was sparked off by the order from DCP, Kola Okunlola, said our source, who said the DCP's action was seen as an outright illegality that must be stopped.
It took the manhandling of the DCP by the angry protesting voters to force him into rescinding his decision, thereby ordering the results back to Brass, where they were constitutionally supposed to have been collated, counted and announced. According to some sources, the results were actually heading to creek haven, the seat of government in Bayelsa state.
A Facebook post from the media aide to the caretaker chairman of Brass, Tamaradoubra Benedict Owie Benjamin, corroborate the information at our disposal, that the Deputy Commissioner of Police ordered for the relocation of the results from Nembe-Bassambiri which the PDP desperately wanted to be annulled.
