Over 1500 Niger Delta Militants to Surrender Arms to Fed Gov

( Aidoghie Paulinus )

Following the intervention of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, over 1500 Niger Delta militants have expressed their desire to embrace amnesty and surrender arms to the federal government.

The commanders from Arepo, Ikorodu, Abule, Fatorla, Ibafo, Magboro, Epe, Itokin, Ilepete, Okenekene, Agric, Gbokoda camps, Camp 5 and environs, in a statement made available to Daily Sun, expressed their desire to surrender arms and embrace the amnesty program as long as the federal government is sincere in its intentions.

The groups hinged their decision on the peaceful approach of Kachikwu, even as they declared that all Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) facilities and its subsidiaries must work for the betterment of Nigeria and the economic efficiency in the face of dwindling oil prices.

The statement signed by General OC Babaeere and General America Tekeiminikpoba on behalf of other commanders, said:

“We write to express our desire to surrender our arms and embrace the amnesty program as long as the federal government is sincere.

“With the timely intervention of the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, we the Commanders from Arepo Camp, Ikorodu Camp, Abule Camp, Fatorla Camp, Camp 5, Ibafo Camp, Magboro Camp, Epe Camp, Itokin Camp, Ilepete Camp, Okenekene Camp, Agric Camp, Gbokoda Camp and their environs, have made up our minds to accept amnesty because of the peaceful approach of the Minister of State for Petroleum.

“We also agree that all NNPC facilities and its subsidiaries must work for the betterment of Nigeria and the economic efficiency in the face of dwindling oil prices.

“However, our willingness to surrender should not be seen as an act of cowardice, rather, as an act of patriotism .

“Also, as we accept this amnesty, it is important to state that the first amnesty was not holistic and was characterized with fraud and fraudulent selections. We were not included in that amnesty program. Even as we tried all avenues to join the program, we were ignored completely,” the commanders said.

While wondering why the Kingsley Kuku-led administration of the Amnesty program had not been probed, the group drummed-up support for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The statement further read:

“We are using this opportunity to call on all Nigerians to work with Mr. President to enable Nigeria move ahead.

“So, as we have agreed to come out, we state that we should be properly co-opted into the amnesty program. This is very important because we have skills and very vast knowledge and experience in the region. We have farmers, ship captains, ship engineers, divers, technicians, welders et cetera, and we have lived all our life in the region. Therefore, we understand every inch of the region.

“Suffice to say that we have integrity. We believe in the peaceful dialogue and peace initiative by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, and we will wait patiently for the response of the federal government so that we all can move Nigeria forward,” the statement read.

I thought before the elections, some fanatic followers were gloating that their 'master' will discard the amnesty agreements and crush the militants?

Wetin happen nau?

So Ikorodu, Ibafo and the others are now parts of the Niger Delta?... Hmmmm no wam!

Because money is involve now, una don turn to good citizen and wants betterment of Nigeria abi. Make una dey Bobo us.

419ers looking for ways to be included in the amnesty fraud.
When did Magboro and Itokin become militant heavens.
Govt wud neither listen to this present set of jokers or relent from dealing militarily with anybody that sabotages any pipeline in the name of militancy.
Jokers!

E for RED for una before. You can't play with a General and get free. They have forgotten that PMB is not the clueless GEJ who has no idea about governance. PMB is ready to fight any region that fail to co-operate with his administration. If na lie make you ask Kanu, the suppose leader of the Birfra. So Militant dey fear like this. The fear of PMB is the beginning of wisdom.

different militant groups surfaces everyday all in the name of national cake chop one chop two.

These are Yoruba thugs making false claims and labeling their territories Niger Delta. The camps they mentioned are pipeline routes. They are saying in exchange for compensation they will stop vandalising infrastructure and terrorising security agents dispatched to protect the lines.

BIG NO!!

I want them to hold on to their arms and not surrender it. Nigeria is no longer a country you can depend of Federal Government for security, your security and that of your community must be through self-help and action.

However, it is criminal to vandalize pipelines, to attack security forces, unless in defense, or to demand ransom as exchange and buy out of criminal acts.

Government should play along and direct them.to bring the weapons and collect money. Soon as they show up round them up and put in jail.

No amnesty anywhere on Yoruba soil. No No No!!

Why would sun newspaper label these thugs as Niger delta militants? First, there are no militants again due to the amnesty program. Second, the location mentioned are not in Niger Delta.

If the government is listening to these folks, then crime pays in this country.

Well thats. A welcome development,..
