Militants under the aegis of Bakassi Freedom Fighters have threatened to disrupt activities at Ibom International Airport, ExxonMobil, as well as vandalize pipelines from Frontier Oil Limited in Akwa Ibom State. Commander Ebong Friday, the group’s spokesperson made this known on Friday in Eket, Eket Local Government Area of the state at a meeting with his members, saying the state government has neglected its members since the time they dropped their arms in the wake of the Federal Government Amnesty Programme to pursue peace. “The group has given the Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, a 1-week ultimatum to empower his members in the youth
empowerment programme or risk dire consequences,” Friday said. “It is very unfortunate,” Friday continued, “that the state government is taking us for granted. We dropped our arms in the course of the Presidential Amnesty Programme and chose to embrace peace. “We voluntarily dropped our arms to embrace peace after the Akwa Ibom State Government called for amnesty and we surrendered our arms with an agreement that they would train us and integrate us, so that we could achieve what they had promised us, but they turned their backs on us,” he stressed. “We went to Obubra for training and came back to the state but the state government is yet to sort us out. “About 950 members of the group are yet to be integrated and documented in the Federal Government amnesty programmes,” the group spokesperson lamented.
