SOME Niger Delta militants, who were granted amnesty by the Federal Government in 2009, have been sent to some foreign countries to enable them acquire skills that would make them useful citizens in the society at the end of their training.
A total of 16,336 ex-militants out of the 20,192 in the first phase of the amnesty programme have undertaken non-violence transformational training at the Amnesty Demobilisation Camp at Obubura, Cross River State
Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman on the Niger-Delta Post-Amnesty Committee, Hon. Kingsley Kuku, who disclosed this during the week at the 82 Division, of the Nigerian Army, Enugu during the official destruction of arms and weapons recovered from Niger Delta ex-militants that took place at Lokpanta, Abia State said the Amnesty Office has successfully placed about 5,000 of the trainees in skills acquisition/training centres in Nigeria.
