Ijaw People Development Initiative, IPDI, Warri, Delta State, Wednesday, said the Federal Government was not committed to the proposed dialogue with militants.
The group in a statement by the national president, Austin Ozobo, condemning alleged unwarranted arrest and invasion of Tebujuor community by soldiers, yesterday, said: “The government of the day is not serious about the proposed negotiation.” “
The frequent invasion of communities and arrest of persons after it announced two-week ceasefire fire show that the government is not ready to negotiate with militants.
“It has refused to keep to its promise of ceasefire, they seem to talk from both sides of the mouth, and we are disappointed. The government is only looking for an avenue to identify the true face of militants to deal with them if negotiation fails,” IPDI said.
Its words: “Imagine just a day after the ceasefire, last week, they invaded Ogulagha and Oporoza communities. In Ogulagha community, they arrested about four persons, though they have released them.” “In Oporoza , Tompolo house was ransacked, and money and traditional sacred items were stolen.
Another arrested in Sapele and now, another three arrested in Tebujor, followed by unwarranted invasion of Tebujor.
There all manner of harassment and intimidation of innocent villagers, with what is playing out, the government has breached its ceasefire promise. “We do no longer have confidence on the government commitment to it peace talk. Another thing we found out is that the government wants to induce some of the militants to fight others,” it said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Face the music. As long as I am concerned, you are as bad as boko haram. And u will pay.
ReplyDeleteThat's the government of a cowardly nomad for you. Its all about lies, deceit and tribalism. He sees others as infidels, not citizens or even human. He would trade us for cattle in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteMr anonymous 8:21, I believe I know where you are from. Your brothers Boko Haram wasted innocent bloods in the name of religion and politics, tell me the crime of the Niger Deltans , except that they are fighting just a portion of what rightly belongs to them. You can see your ungodly acts steering in your face. Your brothers have ruled this Country more than all the regions combined, They looted the treasure of this country, shared the oil blocks that belongs to them. Now you are comparing them as the evil Boko Haram. By doing thisthe wrath of judgment is about to visit you. For justifying the boko haram through your comparison, the ground you are standing upon that have benefited from Niger Delta wealth is about to swallow you and all your lineage.
ReplyDeleteMay all you have wished anonymous 8.21 befall you and your defendant. What was said is not a lie. You throw insult and justify evil. What good are they doing. You are a goat. A big one
