27 N-delta Militants Arrested In Ghana by Nobody: 10:02pm On Feb 03, 2011 |
www.vanguardngr.com/2011/02/27-n-delta-militants-arrested-in-ghana/ 27 N-Delta militants arrested in Ghana February 3, 2011 News Twenty seven former militants from the Niger Delta have been arrested by the Police in Takoradi for allegedly heckling a hotel attendant and holding their co- ordinator hostage. The suspects and 183 others, who arrived in the country to train at the various National Vocational training institutes (NVTI) as welders and oil rig workers, were said to have locked up their leader for more than two hours in a toilet at a hotel in Takoradi where they were lodging. The Police said at the time of the arrest, the suspects were in a meeting planning to rally support across their bases in the country to attack their offices in Accra. According to the hotel manager (name withheld), the group had been in the hotel since Thursday, January 27, 2011 and they had booked rooms for a six- month period. He said there had been shouting from one of their rooms, which prompted one of the attendants at the place to go and find out what was going on, but the door was locked. “He banged on the door several times but those inside refused to open it. When the door was finally forced open, the occupants heckled the attendant and tore his shirt ” the manager said. He said just last Sunday the group started agitating that their daily allowance was not enough and on Tuesday they began a hunger strike and refused to eat the food prepared for them. He said when he monitored the demeanour of the group he decided to first report the matter to the police, who asked him to call the station in case of any violence. Asked if he had enquired about the calibre of people looking for accommodation before taking them in, he explained that officials from the NVTI in Accra had gone to the Hotel to inspect the facilities and had informed the management that the group was made up of students from Nigeria on an exchange programme. “We were shocked when the people finally arrived and, through interactions they said they were former militants from the Delta State of Nigeria who had been completely purged of any acts of violence, ” the manager said. When contacted, the Assistant Director of the NVTI, Mr John Okane, said the institute had an agreement with an organisation in Nigeria called Learning Resources in Nigeria to train the former militants. He said, however, that Learning Resources was responsible for their accommodation and feeding. |

If any president knows the inner workings of militancy it should be jonathan. He knows young boys from 13 are entering militancy right now. This amnesty has been bungled ever since Yar'Adua died. The way these boys think is different from us and their re-integration should be taken more seriously. At this rate we will soon see a resurgence of militants violent activities in the south. |

This criminals called militants will never change. Amnesty is just to enrich the people involved and not to actually stop militancy. These boys are hardened criminal. |

nigeria and her wahala these guys have been swimming in money realized from oil bunkering for the past 1 decade. it will be difficult for them to live normally now. that's why they are demanding for huge allowance from FG, but giving them money which is what they want will not help matters, they need thorough training and re-integration into the society, unfortunately, they don't want that. it is unfortunate that successive Governments have lacked the political will to do something about thie niger delta issue for the past 10 years,,,,, until now it is getting out of hand, i only pray that God will save us in this country, |
Re: 27 N-delta Militants Arrested In Ghana by eldivine: 2:46am On Feb 12, 2011 |
WHERE WERE THESE MILITANTS DURING THE MILITARY RULE? Being killed By Babangida and his ilk. I cant believe people who don't have any idea of the causes and history of Niger-Delta militancy are here condemning them. While their actions are not right, they are understood. Our govt and corporations have done worse to them. |
