8 February 2011
Eight of the 27 ex-Niger Delta militants who were arrested for heckling a hotel attendant and holding their co-ordinator hostage in Takoradi have been deported to Nigeria.
The deportees, who were identified as the ringleaders behind the acts, were sent home after they had been screened by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police.
They were part of a group of 183 others currently in the country being trained in various trades, including welding and fabrication, building and masonry, catering and hospitality, carpentry and joinery, by-the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI).
The Director of the NVTI, Mr Stephen Amponsah, who made this known to the Daily Graphic yesterday, said the rest of the Nigerians benefiting from the training programme were to be distributed to NVTI training centres, while the Takoradi training centre would no longer be used for the training programme.
Learning Resources Nigeria (LRN) Limited, contracted by the Federal government in December last year, entered into a training agreement with the NVTI to provide vocational training for 1,000 Nigerians.
The LRN is a Nigerian educational development and consulting company specialising in training, skills acquisition and capacity building.
