No fewer than 80 militants operating in the creeks of Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State have voluntarily surrendered their weapons and embraced the state government’s amnesty and reintegration programme.

The militants reportedly emerged from the creeks on Friday at the Atimbo Rear Area during Operation OKWOK, within the Area of Responsibility of the Nigerian Army’s 13 Brigade. Security analysts describe the development as a major breakthrough in the ongoing efforts to curb coastal militancy and maritime crime in southern Cross River.

According to security sources, the mass surrender followed months of sustained military operations, alongside quiet engagements involving community leaders, government officials and security agencies.

Two notorious militant camps were said to have dismantled themselves in a coordinated move. The first group, led by ThankGod Ebikontei, popularly known as Ayibanuagha, presented 39 fighters, with four more expected to report in the coming days.

The second camp, commanded by John Isaac, also known as Akpokolo, surrendered 41 fighters. His group, widely referred to as the Akpokolo Marine Forces or “Border Boys,” was known to control strategic waterways linking Cross River to neighbouring coastal routes. Ten additional members of the group are also expected to join the amnesty process.

In total, 80 militants have formally laid down their arms and entered the state-supervised disarmament, rehabilitation and reintegration programme.

This is a welcome development.

Which way Nigeria?

Which way to go?

Thats a region that contributes something meaningful and not another entitled one who hijacked a religion and dictate their self-serving privileges from it.

Dress rehearsals?
Cos every terrorist is having a field day in Nigeria.

Well, you have to always remember that 'one Nigeria' is not a must. We all dont have to belong to the same country just because the British brought us together in their colonial project they called "Nigeria".

We can always agree to a referendum, and go our different ways

What exactly are the militants fighting for? I'm asking this because all the oil wells in Cross River have been ceded to Akwa Ibom and Cameroon.

This is how you lay down arms and plea for amnesty unlike what we have in the north. Bandits turn up with heavy weapons and are allowed to go back with them. Is that one ready for peace

Trump effect, it will only take one missile to finish them off

Kwara bandits are still doing strong head by keeping the Oba in their camp flogging him and giving him beans till tomorrow.


🤔🤔🤔🤔

What are militants in cross river State fight for do they have crude oil in Cross River State?

All these ones are militants or boat transporters?

This is just theater. Hahahaha Puting cross River with militancy in a sentence is like mixing garri and sand. It's practically impossible!

Dem never clash for cassava land finish?

Kill them all. Once you start engaging in terrorism that is it, you’ve given up the right to be treated like a regular human.

Smoke them all out with no impunity

Northern Criminals are labeled Bandits, while Southern Criminals are called Militants. We all know what we are doing.

Looks like a scene from a Nollywood production. 🤓

See how amnesty and peace deal is been done, not the wayo one one done in the North, the North is not actually ready, they are playing each others

Boys won cash out.

The only format government understands

Something smells fishy

80 people getting the attention of the media in a region not known for large scale militant attacks in years.

We see puppets everywhere, whilst the masters remain in the shadows.
