Militants give conditions to end hostilities

Runaway leader of the militant Niger-Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, John Togo, Friday, gave four conditions for the cessation of hostilities by his group.
The group in a statement by its spokesman, “Captain” Mark Anthony said:
*The first condition was for President Goodluck Jonathan to “immediately convene a proper conference of all aggrieved ex-militants who have accepted amnesty before going out to the creeks to negotiate fundamental issues affecting the Niger -Delta people  and Nigerian government as a completion process of late Yar’dua  amnesty programme  for permanent peace to reign”.
*The second condition is “demilitarization of the Niger- Delta region for proper negotiation.”
*The third demand is ‘immediate removal and probing of Mr. Timi Alaibe and Chief Godsday Orubebe from their exalted positions as the duo do not represent the interest of the Niger Delta people.”
An ex-militant leader, “Commander” Frank Akiefa, alias Ebi Kokos said,  “There is  no way any sane person will demand the removal of Mr. Alaibe as coordinator of the post-amnesty programme because he is the one that has stabilized the programme”.
