Former Niger Delta militant leaders have asked the Special Adviser to President on Amnesty, Kingsley Kuku, to integrate their camp in the amnesty programme.
The ex-agitators from Justice Camp and Oghrughruw Camp in Third Phase challenged Kuku to document them or evacuate the amnesty office.
State Chairman, Justice Camp, David Owhegbe, in a statement on Wednesday, decried what he described as “daylight robbery and deliberate exclusion of members of his camp from the documentation by the Amnesty office.”
Owhegbe said Kuku should come and document them into the phase three as approved by the Federal Government.
He also urged Kuku, who is also the Chairman of Amnesty Implementation Committee, to pay their stipends with the benefits of the guns they submitted to the three Battalion Army Barracks in Effurun, Delta State.
Owhegbe said, “They promised to document us and include our camps but up till date, there is nothing to show for it.
“We, therefore, urge the Federal Government and the Amnesty Implementation Office to complete their assignment on the documentation process of the Phase Three because we are tired of roaming the streets of Niger Delta. We of the Justice Camp don’t want a secret documentation at the backyard that is ongoing. We want it done as in Phase I and Two, to apply to Phase 3.”
Owhegbe said the amnesty was not a personal or family affair, stressing that they ceased hostilities because of the promise of amnesty.
In their comments, other leaders, Eric Agbave and Temis Ikpeba, said amnesty was not meant to enrich some people and marginalise others.
They urged President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene in the matter.
They threatened to go back to the creeks and blow up pipelines if the relevant authorities failed to integrate them in the programme.
