Contrary to the publication of one Mr Edariese Peter Arievuawho in Focal Point news, an online medium that Comrade Jonathan Giama- led CDHR in Delta State is misleading Delta State Police Commissioner, Olufemi Surajudeen Abaniwonda and the general public, the authentic CDHR ably led by Comrade Jonathan Giama has come up to say that the organization is the authentic body in the state and therefore called on the Commissioner of Police and the general public to disregard any publication(s) anybody has done or may do about the organization especially the one done by Mr Edariese Peter Arievuawho recently.
In a press statement signed by CDHR Chairman, Delta State Branch, Comrade Jonathan Giama and made available to newsmen said, it should be brought to the notice of the Commissioner of Police, Delta State and the general public that the 78- year old man (Mr Edariese Peter Arievuawho) was a member of the authentic CDHR, Delta State Branch as at may 2021.
According to the statement, Mr Edariese Peter’s membership ceased to be as a result of his inability to withstand the contest for the position of Chairmanship in election of the organization ( CDHR) Delta State Branch adding that, this made him to form an imitation body of the organization and since then, he has been parading himself as Chairman of unregistered and unconstitutional”CDHR”.
According to the statement, Mr Edariese Peter Arievuawho felt comfortable when the then expelled National President of CDHR, Barrister Osagie Obayuwana a one-time Attorney General of Edo State by the National Council of the organization in Port Harcourt River State, implored him (Edariese) to form an imitation body of the organization.
The statement said, since then, Mr Edariese has not been able to manage his imitation group to be recognized by the society hence he continues to blackmail the formidable branch that work round the clock to see that human rights abuses are minimized and with due time eradicated in the state.
According to the statement, the place they claimed to be their Secretariat has become a den of lizards, wall-geckos and littered with cobwebs and other insects adding that, this necessitated relocating their so-called office to Mr Edariese Peter’s residence as if CDHR were a one- man business (organization).
According to the statement, since the fake “CDHR” Chairman left the authentic CDHR, the 78 year old man does not know what to do with his age hence he doesn’t only recruit people of questionable character as members and subordinates on monthly basis into his so-called “CDHR” to be his state executives but goes about blackmailing the organization through publications.
The body strongly frowned at his publication and therefore advised the commissioner of Police, Delta State and the general public to disregard the publication as it is malicious and clothed in falsehood.
