Posted by Reports have it that security operatives have nabbed a
prominent member of a Niger Delta militant group
blowing up oil pipelines.
A top Commander of the Urhobo/Isoko militant group,
Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate (NDGJM), has
been nabbed by the operatives of the Joint Task Force
(JTF) code-named Operation Delta Safe.
It would be recalled that the NDGJM kickstarted full
scale militant operations in the oil rich region after the
foremost group Niger Delta Avengers announced a
ceasefire after a tentative agreement with the Federal
Government.
Security sources told ThisDay newspaper on Monday
night that the high profile suspect was apprehended on
Sunday after diligent surveillance by JTF operatives.
The suspect, whose name could not be ascertained at
the time of this report, was said to have been arrested
along with four of his foot soldiers.
It was learnt that the militant Commander was one of
the brains behind incessant attacks on trunk lines in
Ughelli and its environs.
It was learnt that soldiers attached to 222 Battalion,
Ughelli, stepped up a massive manhunt for the
members of Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate
since last Saturday after the group claimed it breached
Iwhremaro trunk line in Ughelli North Local
Government area of Delta State on Friday night.
“We stepped up action when the group again claimed it
vandalised another pipeline and it paid of with the
arrest of one of their kingpins along with four other
militants” a top security source said.
Acting JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Commander
Thomas Otuji, confirmed the arrests to a
correspondent on inquiry.
