'Niger Delta will not Record Reprisal Attacks on Northerners'- Kingsley Kuku

The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Hon. Kingsley Kuku says that in spite of the very provocative antics of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, the Niger Delta will not record any form of reprisal attacks on Northern or Islamic targets.

Mr Kuku however believes that the recent bold security measures taken by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will in the coming days curb the activities of the sect.

Kuku who was speaking with journalists in Lagos insists that the reported attack on a mosque in Sapele, Delta state, was an isolated case and should not be seen as a reprisal attack.

The Special Adviser adds that the Presidential Amnesty Office in the new year plans to send a minimum of 12,000 transformed Niger Delta ex-militants to either schools or vocational training centres within the country or offshore.
