PoliticsFG Begs Ex-militants, Promises To Start Payment Of Stipends On Monday by kogistar(op): 9:52pm On Jul 31, 2016
Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta and
Coordinator of the Presidential
Amnesty Programme, Brig-
Gen. Paul Boroh (retd), has
pleaded with ex-Niger Delta
militants to shun planned
protest while stressing that the
federal government that the
federal government will
commence payments of their
stipends on Monday
According to a statement
issued on Sunday by the Head
of the Media and
Communication Department of
the office of the Presidential
Amnesty Programme, Abuja,
Mr. Piriye Keyaramo, the
federal government showed
concern for the challenges
faced by the ex-militants.
The coordinator, who
expressed concern over the
plight of the ex-agitators in
respect of the delay in the
payment of their stipends,
explained that President
Muhammandu Buhari
appreciated their patience and
the challenges were being
addressed.
The statement reads,
“President Buhari attaches so
much importance to the
Amnesty Programme, which
explains why the President in
his inaugural address to the
nation specifically promised to
invest heavily in the projects,
and programmes currently in
place for the ex-agitators in
the region.”
Boroh added that the Federal
Government planned to
improve the amnesty
programme for the benefit of
the 30,000 ex-militants and
other youths in the region.
“President Muhammandu
Buhari, is already putting
together a youth development
and empowerment package
that would directly impact the
ex-agatators and other youths
in the region,” he said.

PoliticsMEND, FG Strike Deal To End N-delta Crisis by kogistar(op):
*Henry Okah, Charles Okah,
Obi Nwabueze may be freed
*Nnamdi Kanu, others to get
freedom if they renounce
Biafra
*Tompolo off the hook if he
cooperates
*Niger Delta Avengers gets
last chance to stop bombing
or…

The Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND) and the Federal
Government, currently engaged
in a dialogue through the oil
companies and security
agencies to end renewed
bombings in the oil-rich Niger
Delta, seem to have reached
far-reaching compromises,
including the possible release
of a former militant leader,
Henry Okah, from prison in
South Africa, and his brother,
Charles Okah, incarcerated in
Nigeria.
They were also said to have
agreed that ex-militant leader,
Government Ekpemupolo ,
alias Tompolo, would not be
harassed by government if he
makes himself available as a
delegate on MEND Aaron
Team 2, while the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, would be
released on condition that he
renounces the agitation for
“Biafra Republic.”
MEND, in a statement by
spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo,
yesterday, announced the
resolutions to end the revolt in
the South-South and South
East regions. The statement
came on a day security forces
were said to be deploying into
strategic positions in the Niger
Delta to prepare to use force
against militants if peace talks
failed. However, MEND said
the recalcitrant Niger Delta
Avengers, NDA, still has
opportunity to embrace peace,
failing which a combination of
military forces and volunteers
in the region would smoke
them out.
The statement said: “The
Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND) is the only
militant group from the Niger
Delta region presently engaged
in a dialogue with the Federal
Government of Nigeria -
through oil companies and
security agencies - with a view
to resolving the current Niger
Delta crisis.
“Thus far, the deliberations
have been fruitful, various
concessions and guarantees
have already been secured,
some of which include but not
limited to the release of Henry
Okah, Charles Okah and Obi
Nwabueze; review of the life
sentence handed to Mr.
Edmund Ebiware based on a
proposal put forward by the
Aaron Team representative for
Abia and Imo states, Senator
Adolphus Wabara;
conditional release of IPOB
leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu and
others if they renounce their
agitation for a ‘Biafra
Republic’”. Furthermore, MEND
said they agreed that Mr.
Government Ekpemupolo shall
not be arrested, harassed and/
or intimidated whenever he
makes himself available as a
delegate of the MEND Aaron
Team. The statement went on:
“That international arbitrator
and conflict negotiator,
American Dr. Judith Asuni,
shall be accepted as the
representative of the Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA) on the
MEND Aaron Team; that the
criminal charges against
Urhobo freedom fighter, Mr.
Kelvin Prosper Oniarah, shall
be reviewed.
“That the life sentence which
was handed to seven soldiers
in 2008, who actively
supported the Niger Delta
struggle, be reviewed under
the Presidential Amnesty
Programme. The affected
persons are: Suleiman Alabi
Akubo, Major. Mathias Peter,
Sgt Alexander Davou, L.cpl.
Moses Nwaigwe, L.cpl.
Nnamdi Anene, L.cpl. Taatihi
Emmanuel, L.cpl Caleb Bawa,
PTE.
“However, one of the most
immediate and urgent fallouts
of the ongoing dialogue is the
imperative for the Federal
Government and MEND to
jointly and separately take
proactive steps to rescue and
secure the region. This is in
the event that the recalcitrant
Niger Delta Avengers, NDA,
continues its senseless and
politically-motivated path of
attacks on the country’s oil
assets.
“To this end, both parties
agreed that the Special Forces
of the Nigerian Army should
commence the purely routine
but strategic military exercise,
code-named ‘Operation
Crocodile Tears’; while MEND
would commence a meet-the
government-actors-and-people
tour of the Niger Delta region
code-named ‘Operation
Moses’.
“‘Operation Crocodile Tears’ is
aimed at ensuring the combat
readiness of the Nigerian Army
in amphibious and internal
security operations in the
Niger Delta as well as check
criminal activities like
kidnapping, pipeline vandalism,
piracy and other forms of
criminal activities spearheaded
by the NDA in the region.
“MEND’s ‘Operation Moses’ is
essentially to inform, educate
and generally sensitise the
citizenry in the Niger Delta,
particularly the government,
the youth, oil companies,
elders and militant community
on the need to ceasefire and
support the President
Muhammadu Buhari
Administration in its
determined bid to proffer
sustainable solutions to the
current Niger Delta crisis.
“Consequently, MEND urges all
states, local governments, oil
and gas companies and law-
abiding citizens in the Niger
Delta region to go about their
lawful and legitimate concerns
without any iota of fear as we
have received firm assurances
from the Federal Government
that ‘Operation Crocodile
Tears’ is an innocuous
exercise in the national
interest.
“Meanwhile, MEND’s
‘Operation Moses ‘shall be
anchored by the Aaron Team 2
Dialogue, Peace and
Development Initiative, jointly
led by Mr. Odein Ajumogobia,
SAN, and HRH King Alfred
Papapreye Diette-Spiff, the
Amanyanabo of Twon-Brass in
Bayelsa State.
[*No confirmation yet, says
Presidency
ABUJA-Pr[/b]
ABUJA-Presidency has said it
was not formerly in the know
of any agreement with the
MEND as claimed by the Body.
MEND had in a statement on
Saturday stated that its
conditions for peace included
the release of Henry Okah
from a South African prison,
his brother, Charles Okah and
the Leader of IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu from detention. It also
needed assurance from the
government that Tompolo
would not be arrested when he
showed up for the negotiations
with the federal government.
But speaking through the
Senior Special Assistant to
President Mohammadu Buhari,
Mallam Garba Shehu on the
latest statement by MEND on
the stage of the peace talks,
the presidency said it was yet
to get a confirmation of the
supposed truce. Shehu said
that the Office of the National
Security Adviser, NSA was yet
to receive confirmation on the
matter as at the time of filing
this report.
According to him, the Minister
of State for Petroleum
Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu
who was a stakeholder in the
matter could not be reached
on his cell phone. “I have been
trying to get the Minister of
State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu, on phone. But he
did not pick his calls. And the
NSA’s office has no
confirmation as at now. May
be, later. But as at now, the
NSA’s office has no
confirmation of such
agreement to give me”, Shehu
told Sunday Vanguard on
phone

shall duly communicate with
all concerned persons and
institutions. “Ultimately, peace
and development in the Niger
Delta region is the final
destination of the ongoing
dialogue between MEND and
the Federal Government.”
troops set for crack down
Meantime, defence chiefs
were quoted, at the weekend,
as saying troops were
deploying into strategic
positions in the Niger Delta to
prepare to use force against
militants if the peace talks
failed. “We have allowed the
ongoing dialogue between the
Federal Government and the
militants. Our troops are in
position. My message to the
militants is to ensure they go
to the negotiation table,” the
Chief of the Defence Staff,
General Gabriel Olonisakin,
said during a visit to Bayelsa
State, on Friday.
On the possibility of using
force if talks between the
government and militants
break down, Minister of
Defence Mansur Dan-Ali, was
quoted as saying in Abuja: “It
cannot be ruled out.” Dan-Ali
said local people would work
alongside troops as part of a
grassroots community security
force, along the lines of an
approach used to fight the
Islamist group Boko Haram in
the North-East.
“We will fuse them into the
new security infrastructure for
the region,” he said.

CrimeYoruba And Hausa Clash In Ijora Badia, Lagos: 3 Killed, Customs Officer Injured by kogistar(op): 6:23am On Jul 27, 2016
LAGOS—Three persons were shot dead yesterday, during a shootout between hoodlums and some officers attached to the Federal Operations Zone A, Ikeja, of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, at White Sand community in Ijora Badia area of Lagos State.

Three others, among who was a Customs officer, also sustained gunshot injuries.

Trouble started, Monday, following a clash between Hausa and Yoruba residents over accusation by the latter that the former had been terrorising the area.

A resident, Tajudeen Shamsudeen, explained that a boy, identified as Ojo, said to be on his way home, was allegedly stabbed to death by some Hausa boys.

Shamsudeen said: “For long, these Hausa boys have been attacking people here. They waylay people, dispose them of cash and belongings. Even rulers of both ethnic groups are aware of the issue.”

The attack on Ojo, according to him, sparked a riot during which dangerous weapons were freely used by both parties.

But for the timely arrival of policemen from Ijora Badia, the situation would have assumed a violent dimension. 10 persons were said to have been arrested in connection with the unrest.

Demolition

Vanguard gathered that demolition of shanties in the troubled community started yesterday morning.

While unconfirmed reports had it that it was on the order of the state government, the Hausa alleged that the demolition was carried out in their places of abode only.

While the demolition was ongoing, some Custom officers, who residents alleged were invited by the Seriki Hausa, stormed the community in three patrol vehicles at about 2.30p.m. They were alleged to have fired sporadically to scare off some hoodlums, who were roaming the area.

The hoodlums were said to have resisted the Customs men, who allegedly attempted to stop the demolition, an action that led to a shootout, during which three persons were felled by bullets.

One of the bullets from the hoodlums hit a Customs officer. The Customs men then fled the scene, heading towards Apapa.

As at 5p.m., Vanguard gathered that the injured officer was being treated at the Lagoon Hospital, Apapa, with two police patrol vans stationed within the hospital premises.

One of those hit by a stray bullet was Azeez Tajudeen. Eyewitnesses said he was first taken to the police station for a police report, before being rushed to an undisclosed hospital.

Police story

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, a Superintendent of Police, however, said only one person died, while two others are recuperating in the hospital.

She said:”The community and the police were on a joint operation of raiding black spots within the community and arresting suspected criminals yesterday.

“In the process, some officers of the Nigerian Customs Service officers, who were with officials of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, had an encounter with some of the hoodlums.

“They fired some shots and three people were hit. As a result, one death was recorded, while two others are receiving treatment in the hospital. Policemen are not involved.”

PoliticsAgain, Mbaka Blasts Jonathan Over Economic Recession by kogistar(op): 10:36pm On Jul 24, 2016
ENUGU—Controversial Enugu-
based Catholic Priest,Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka, on Sunday, during
his homily at Adoration
Ministry,Emene, Enugu,
slammed former President
Goodluck Jonathan, accusing
him of having ran a wasteful
government which plunged the
nation into its present
economic recession.
The cleric equally disclosed
that he had nothing to regret
over his 2015 prophesy of
change, where he had
predicted that President
Jonathan would be defeated in
the presidential elections.
Continuing, he also, dismissed
as baseless, claims that he fell
apart with Jonathan over the
latter’s refusal of his request
for oil well.
Mbaka, who spoke through his
spokesperson, Maximus
Ugwuoke, on the sidelines of
the activities ahead of his 21
years priestly ordination
anniversary, said he would not
regret the 2015 change
prophesy despite the current
sufferings Nigerians are
experiencing.
Instead, he recalled that he
had also on several occasions
released prophecies on the
current hard times bedeviling
the nation.
The priest, however,
maintained that the previous
administration, which
squandered the resources at
its disposal should be held
responsible for the present
situation.
According to Ugwuoke, “when
these prophesies come, it
must not be what people think
or want; people are entitled to
their views; those reactions
mean nothing; the important
thing is that there is nothing
he had prophesized which
never came to pass; the
ministry does not care how
people feel about his
prophesies. Some call him
controversial priest; some call
him fiery priest and all that,
they are entitled to their
opinion. The fact remains that
he is a true prophet.
“I will tell you something, it is
for us humans to judge
prophesies; he was the only
person who said Buhari would
win. If it were in the olden
days, all those so-called men
of God who castigated him
would have received the wrath
of God immediately. All of
them should be ashamed of
themselves now.
“When you look at that
prophesy on Jonathan, he
gave it and it came to pass.
Don’t forget that two months
before that prophesy,
Jonathan’s wife came to the
adoration ground; that is to tell
you that the prophesy came
from God; if after such visit,
he had the courage to reveal
such prophesy against them,
that tells you that it is much
more than what people think.
Whether the prophesy is a
good one or not, talking about
the suffering, it has nothing to
do with the prophesy.
“Before Buhari took over, the
dollar was rising, there was
already problem with our
economy. They had oil boom
but never saved; they just
wasted the opportunity. Even
the suffering we are talking
about was part of his
prophesies. I recall that on
31st of January this year, he
said clearly that Nigerians
should brace up for hard
times, he said a lot of hardship
was under way; what these
suffering Nigerians are
passing through are a process
of change. I’m seeing a great
future for Nigerians; he made it
clear that there are so many
holes which needed to be
filled.”
Request for oil well
Speaking on stories making
the rounds that Jonathan
rejected his request for an oil
well, he stated that, “these are
lies from the pit of hell; these
were used to water down the
prophesy because people did
not understand. It was even
alleged that he received N5
million from Buhari; you begin
to wondwer what is N5 million
to Mbaka. Is it the school fees
he is paying for hundreds of
people? This is all
propaganda."
“There was also these claims
of meeting with APC chieftains
before the election; he never
held any such meeting; he
never met Buhari before the
election, there has never been
any communication between
them; what he has already is
bigger than oil well; he is a
musician and the ministry is
being sustained with that”.
