The leader of Ataine family, Pa. Magnus Ataine made this known while addressing the press at the end of their family meeting held on August 30, 2018 over the sudden disappearance of Stephen Ataine alongside his family members.
According to him, “The Ataine family have gathered in their large numbers to condemn the injustice in Nigeria, a situation where members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won’t allow someone speak against its President Muhammadu Buhari and go scot free. Our son, Stephen Ataine who is nowhere to be found has become a victim because the APC students who were part of his lecture on August 12, 2018 considered his illustrations using President Buhari as derogatory.
“The APC students fled-up and the matter resulted to uncontrollable crisis in the College. Stephen Ataine was said to have escaped death by the whiskers on that fateful day. Regardless of the presence of SSS, DSS, SARS and other special squads of the police, Stephen Ataine on several occasions was attacked leaving him and members of his family seriously injured”.
Pa. Ataine who declared that Stephen Ataine alongside members of his family are missing, said the information they received from the College he taught was that he abandoned his duty post with no one knowing his whereabouts. He therefore raised an alarm over the incessant invasion of the various security agencies to their family homes in search of Stephen Ataine who they said must be brought to book and helped to shut his mouth up.
Meanwhile, Stephen Ataine who his colleagues in the institution described as a good lecturer, further claimed that he will never say anything that will indict the President or anybody.
It was gathered that Stephen Ataine has been declared wanted by the Nigeria Police, Agbor Area Command for not honouring the Command's invitation on the matter before absconding.
