JTF Destroy Nine Militant Camps in Bayelsa
The Joint Task Force, Wednesday, said it had taken over ten ex militant camps in the creek of Bayelsa State just as the whereabouts of the kidnapped site engineer at Okpoama in the Brass council area of the state remained unknown.
Nine of the camps, according to the JTF were razed down while the one over looking the Atlantic Ocean was spared for strategic reason and is presently being occupied by soldiers.
The camps included those recently surrendered by the ex combatants and others seized by the task force during its recent operation to rid the creek of ex militant camps, resurging camps and criminal elements.
Spokesman of the Joint Media Campaign HQ Sector 2, Lt. Commander F.A Achukwu who disclosed this in Yenagoa said the burning of the camps and the occupation of the only camp that was spared for strategic reason was personally supervised by the commanding officer of the 149 Battalion.
