Aggrieved former militant leaders have threatened to return to the creeks should the Federal Government continue to exclude them from the ongoing rehabilitation programme. More than 200 ex-militant leaders and their boys on Wednesday in Warri, Delta, State South-South, Nigeria, carried out a protest march at the Marine Quarters area to drive home their point. They disrupted free flow of traffic as they barricaded some of the major routes on Okumagba Avenue and other parts of Warri The group, whose protest was led by one “General” Augustine Oges and Kingsley Muturu, took over Gbiaye street at about 4.30p.m., and stopped at the NUJ Press Centre at Third Marine Gate. At the centre, the ex-militants manhandled a staff of the NUJ Secretariat, Mr Christopher Odamah, who tried to stop them from entering the premises. They told journalists at the Press centre that they would make the Niger Delta region ungovernable if the government continued to refuse the initiation process to document their members and include them in the ongoing rehabilitation programme. They said the protest was a follow-up to the one they staged in Abuja in early July which, they said, government seemed to have ignored. The leaders also denied media report that they apologised to the special adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Timi Alaibe, over the said Abuja protest. The ex-militant leaders said that they could no longer guarantee holding back their ‘foot soldiers’, and that they were unhappy with the way the amnesty programme was being handled. “We dropped our arms since October last year, but nothing has happened to us since then, hence we stormed Abuja on 7 July to demand for proper documentation of our members. “Time is running out and we do not want Timi to handle the second phase of the amnesty. “The President should allow another competent Nigerian to handle this crucial phase of the amnesty. “Timi has paid some boys to come and apologise to him over the protest in Abuja. “We do not want him again and we are appealing to the President to be wary in order for him not to rock the boat of his administration. “We are giving the President from now till 5 August to address our issue otherwise, we will go back to the creeks and make this country ungovernable,’’ they said.

Guys, please don't talk without facts. "Nigeria is rich enough to make every youth rich": how is that possible? If you share N280 million among 100 thousand people, that is just N2,800. These militant guys hide under the disguise of fighting for the people meanwhile all they are interested in is their own selfish interest. Don't get me wrong, am not saying people shouldn't fight for what is theirs but their are more sensible and diplomatic ways. And if they are going to be killing people, they should make sure they kill all their leaders and chiefs who are embezzling the money that are supposed to be for their people.

it would have been more better if they vex their hangers on those stupid and greedy in the govt, instead of disturbing the peace of the country as whole , yes i will quite agree with you that suppose our wealth is well manage , every citizen could have been a milionaire by now . imagine a country where the formerNDDC chairman admited spending a wooping 700 million on babalawos , and just only yesterday , i read from the msg i got from the nigeriamuse that the senate president earns 88.33 million a month while his deputy takes over 50 million too monthly , the salaries of each senator was put at 1.7 million dollar ,while OBAMA the US president earn only 400.000 dollar annually . what a wasteful spending ? in a country where so many peoples can hardly feed twice daily .the earlier they started on those embezling our wealth and turning us to a begging nation gradually , the better , and they will won admirations of all well meaning nigeria too

@Ajanni, So you want to tell me that you have really changed??? Wonderful in fact I have started admiring your write ups, that is amazing the way you reason this time. I am serious and not kidding over this. At least if average Nigerians think the same way you do this time believe me peace will be achieved in that chartered country called Nigeria.Well done my friend Ajanni.
