The protesters have continued to occupy the Mbiama axis of the ever-busy East-West Road, when the National President of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC arrived at the scene of the protest.
The IYC leader who was reportedly kidnapped Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, expressed support for the on going protest and blockade of the Yenagoa office of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC demanding the Constitution of its governing board.
In the face of Ijaw Youth Council protest and agitation, the Presidency is yet to respond to the situation as most Nigerians continue to suffer and lose manhours travelling on the East-West Road.
