I am not in need of money from anybody but public apology from the authorities, including the Nigerian army, the Delta state governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and his campaign team who failed to protect me after inviting me to the occasion.<br \/>\nI am giving them more two weeks after which I would instruct my lawyers to take legal action,\u201d I Go Dye stated.<br \/>\n\u201cIt became necessary to take this step because it could happen to anybody. If I Go Dye can be so assaulted by military men I wonder what would happen to ordinary Nigerians. I want it to be on record that the Army assaulted me for just no cause, hence I seek a written apology.\u201d<br \/>\nI Go Dye noted that the military has in recent time been carrying on as if they were at war with civilians especially in the Niger Delta where they have ravaged various communities in search of elusive militants.<br \/>\nRecounting what transpired at the stadium, the popular comedian stated\u00a0 that he was officially invited to participate at the Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan Re-run Campaign but was amazed that he could be assaulted for no reason.<br \/>\n\u201cI was officially invited to perform on the January 4 and I arrived\u00a0 the venue\u00a0 in company with some\u00a0 colleagues who were also contracted to perform. Entering the stadium,\u00a0 one of the military officers identified me\u00a0 but I soon\u00a0 realized that some of my colleagues were not allowed to enter which\u00a0 prompted me to appeal to one of the senior officers on behalf of my colleagues,\u201d I Go Dye disclosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis Agoda, a.k.a I Go Dye, a reputable stand-up comedian who was beaten black and blue recently in his native Niger Delta region, has denied insinuations in some quarters that he has been settled by a politician to the tune of N50 million as compensation for the alleged assault on his person by some security [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-274886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
