Top militant leaders, who have been causing havoc in the Niger Delta and major oil depots in the South-West, have laid out conditions under which they would stop the renewed bombing of oil installations and embrace peace.
According to reports, the militants said they would only drop their arms when the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, meets and negotiates with them.
The militants issued the position after a secret meeting involving their leaders from the Niger Delta and their counterparts in Alepo, Agric, Epe, Ikorodu, Itoki and Igbokoda areas of Lagos.
One of the top leaders, who gave his name as General Levi, said that they would not want to back down until the Petroleum Minister meets them and secures amnesty for their members to avoid being persecuted by security agencies.
The militant leaders also said after meeting with the minister, they would thereafter take over the responsibility of tracking and exposing those bent on causing further destruction to all facilities and meting our appropriate punishment to them.
They said they had been pleading for amnesty since the days of the President Jonathan’s administration but nobody took them into consideration and were ready to work with the new administration to bring about an end to oil bunkering and pipeline vandalisation in the Niger Delta region and the South-West.
Levi said: “We are ready to drop our arms and denounce hostility with the government on the condition that the Minister of Petroleum will meet with us and hear our own side of the story. We are not against the government but we have genuine issues yet to be addressed by successive administrations in this country.
“We are ready to commence discussion and denounce association with this present situation. From now henceforth, we are ready to block any channel for anyone not to go through to bomb oil pipelines.”
The bombing of oil installations in the Niger Delta commenced last week as militants blew up major oil and gas pipelines in the area.

This is an arrant nonsence, you cannnot eat your cake and still have. How on earth can you say the condition that will make the government to heeds to your agitation is by bombing oil facilities thereby causing more havoc to the already deteriorated economy.

These guys na hungry boys wey de find pay. Military must not negotiate with any criminal that engage in economic sabotage. Swoop on them all....



BTW: Wetin concern Ogun and Lagos state with Niger Delta Militancy? This looks fake

You probably do not know the NPF and DSS have lost so many men to militants in ikorodu and Ogun state.

this what happen when people are jobless

Mr. President should not allow these criminals to take him for granted,he should give d army instruction and autimatum to flush out these criminals called militants for dearing d peace and economy of d nation. GEJ their son was there for a wasted period of, 6yrs but could not hold him to account to address the Niger Delta question. Why will dey now come to disturb this government dey never contributed to install? The army should do their job,they should not negotiate wid these criminals but should flush these criminals out.

Hmmm Nigeria my beloved country. I pray my kids nd grandchildren wil come to see the existence of Nigeria

HopeAlive14:
Oil prices falling...

Boko Haram attacks in the North...

Biafra agitation in the South...

Resumed militancy in the Niger Delta...

When will Nigeria know peace?

God, please help my dear country.

there was a country

No they should continue destroying their fatherland na. Oil is already worthless as of today with many oil fields already planning to shut down. They shld keep being dumb and silly

Someone is working feverishly to divert attention away from themselves. I hope the intelligence agencies are hot on their heels.

Who negotiates with saboteurs ? What nonsense..military men should take actions against these miscreants ...why giving theom 65k monthly for doing nothing in the name of amnesty ? Do they deserve the cash payment again

If they are granted amnesty, paid salaries and taken to USA for training, what stops me from seeking amnesty through violence.
Government should not encourage youths to carry out violence

I can't imagine how relieved you are now that you got to say Yoruba, the go-to word of relief and comfort for you ibos. You might have almost itched to death if you didn't get it out of your gut.

The mentioned igbokoda is not even in Lagos. It's in Ondo state

AceRoyal:
South West wanna join militants also?

Southwest especially the ilaje/ijaws in Ondo state have always been part of the Nigerdelta militants

This is now a recurring decimal. If this set is pacified with millions another set will rise up. I laugh in french because Nigeria needs to go back to the drawing board.

Who does not know iPod are the ones behind the acts of vandalism to coincide with their planned protests

The Minister should meet with them immediately.

Reminds me of a song I know........
*All that bullshitz for the birds*.... So like this,Lagos no get light??!....

You guys should go ahead and destroy everything there! Personally, I don't care. If no revenue is generated in your place as a result of your actions, you have yourself to blame!

TonyeBarcanista:

You believe the news?

seriously speaking, I don't know what to believe any more, I am more confused than before, our media outfit are not helping at all.

lol!!! it's funny how tribalism have eating deep into the fabric of our reasoning, cloud our judgement, and truth distorted jus to give a dog a bad name, so that it can be hang, only God can vindicate the innocent.

ernecy:
so to get the attention of the government they had to bomb oil facility, that's cruel!!

Actually I look at it this way:

They bomb oil pipelines to get amnesty from bombing oil pipelines.

Pidggin:
So Tompolo was saying the truth after all.

Hope our Northern govt. will dialogue instead of threatening war

These fools are trying to secure immunity (amnesty) for Tompolo. How come the bombings commenced once Tompolo ran to the creeks

Pidggin:
So Tompolo was saying the truth after all.

Hope our Northern govt. will dialogue instead of threatening war

there is nothing like Northern Government. What we have is Nigerian Government.
