“We have been hearing about Pastor Reuben and how good he is. Today, we have seen it for ourselves,” a family representative said.

The family, however, used the opportunity to plead with the pastor Reuben initiative to help ensure that Bodmas Kemepadei should submits himself to the police. They insisted that the matter is beyond the Amassoma community and now rests in the hands of the state governments.

According to them, reports suggesting that Bodmas may be hiding in the residence of a prominent Niger Delta leader, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, should not distract from the core demand that he present himself to security authorities.

“We cannot say much because the matter is now in the hands of government. What we want is for Bodmas to come out openly and report himself to the police,” the family stated.

Speaking during the visit, the Youth President of Amassoma, Ogbofa Joel, thanked Chief Pastor Reuben for what he described as a peaceful and timely intervention. He said the visit symbolised peace and solidarity with the community.

He further warned that if Bodmas fails to submit himself to the authorities, the youths may be compelled to take action. However, he appealed to Tompolo, whom he described as a good man who loves Ijaw youths, to show concern over the issue if there is any truth to the allegations.

In response, Pastor Reuben corrected the youth president , stating that the Tompolo he knows would not shield anyone involved in injustice. He said he could not believe that Bodmas would be harboured by Tompolo in a matter of such gravity, as the Niger Delta leader is known to detest injustice.

Also speaking, a member of the entourage identified as Chief Justice advised the youth president and other young people to toe the path of peace and allow due process to take its course.

Pastor Reuben concluded by urging youths to live responsibly in society, reminding them that they are the leaders of tomorrow and must always speak and act in the interest of peace.
