The NSCN/GPRN (K) through its MIP has clarified the news report published in local dailies on August 27 issued by Kohima police, wherein one Jekivi Awomi, son of Khuhozu of Rotomi village claimed to be a member of NSCN (K). Therefore in this connection, the NSCN (K) clarified that the said person was not a member of NSCN (K) adding he has no involvement in any kind of extortion with its cadres.
The NSCN (K) stated that the allegation made by Kohima police was “purely baseless and fictitious”. NSCN (K) further stated that after proper verification, the NSCN authority learnt from the relatives of the victim that the said person was just a mere taxi driver plying taxi within Kohima town, and not a member of any underground outfit, added NSCN/GPRN. ]
NSCN (K) alleged that it was just an intention to victimize innocent public charged with an extortion case without any valid reasons and informed the police authority not to mislead the general public and the public not to be confused with such a “malicious statement” issued by the law enforcing agencies which was unacceptable in Naga society.
