The Chairman of the Movement for the Survival of the Ijaw Ethnic Nationality (MOSIEND), Comrade Big J also known as Don Cici has been killed by gunmen suspected to be cultists in Koluama Clan, Bayelsa state.

It was gathered that 50-year-old, Comrade Big J was shot at close range about 7 am on Sunday, July 18, at Osuale market on his way to pick up money from a local money transfer which is said to be delivered by local boat.

According to Nigerian Tribune, some Ijaw youths described the deceased as a dedicated Ijaw youth advocate and also a strong member of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC), until he left the council following a fall-out after the last National Executive Election of IYC.

A source in the Koluama community said that Comrade Big J is a known advocate of peace and welfare for Ijaw youths, but that those who are suspected to have killed were cultists who felt he crossed into their territory.
