15,000 ex-militants protest non-payment of allowances in Delta

Over 15,000 ex-militants, at the weekend, in Warri, Delta State, protested the non-payment of their allowances in the past two years by the Amnesty Committee.

The aggrieved ex-militants, however, promised to storm the Federal Capital, Abuja soon if their grievances were not addressed immediately by the Federal Government.

Spokesman of the ex-militants, Prince Meshach Bebenimibo, said, at a conference of Transformed Niger Delta Ex- militants, that their patience had run out and would no longer take excuses from the Federal Government or the managers of the amnesty programme
