'We need a JTF with human face in Niger Delta'
National President of Ijaw Peoples Congress (IPC), Ekanou Enewaridideke, spoke with reporters on the activities of the Joint Military Task Force in the Niger Delta and implications for the zone. Excerpts
What is your own assesment of the jtf operations in the Niger Delta?
The operation of JTF, which was aimed at fishing out John Togo and his rebellious group, is highly condemnable. The people of Ayakoromo are totally against maritime brigandage of any colour. The operation produced civilian casualties. The destruction of houses of innocent,harmless people in the community, provoked anger. The assault was appalling.
