Ex Militant Leaders Threaten to Disrupt Inauguration

Ex militant leaders threaten to disrupt inauguration over alleged insecurity of members

…agree to stop monthly deduction of their boys allowance

Yenagoa – Ex militant leaders in the Niger Delta Thursday threatened to storm Abuja in protest over what they described as the inability of the Federal Government to guarantee their safety alleging that four of their members had been brutally killed in the last one year after embracing the amnesty programme.

The former creek warlords under the aegis of Peace Keeping Ex Militants Forum who converged Thursday in Yenagoa to review the progress of the Federal Government’s  Amnesty programme described the development as disturbing as some of them could no longer move freely for fear of the being attacked.

The ex militant leaders who also agreed to stop deduction from the monthly allowance of their boys however called on the Amnesty Committee to look into their welfare as they (leaders) cannot be collecting the same amount with their boys.
