sochan: Unfortunately that country is turning to a nation where the symptoms far outweigh the diagnosis thereby requiring a cure to be newly engineered in the best laboratory with the most competent hands. My lovely nation how I weep for thee. Have a good day Sochan. |

Why are you all jumping to conclusions already? That same news article said no independent assesment has been carried out. xoxo, : Really? So the 2 hour battle that was reported before never happened? |

There can never be justification for killing the innocent civillians but neither should criminal hide under the guise of freedom struggles, we are one nigeria regardless of all the odds. Giving free money to strong abled men in the name of amnesty would only indidcate that the hard working ones are fools; subsequently breeding more militants. A saying goes "Victory achieved by violence is the greatest defeat". |

killing innocent pple, burning houses, it looks idiotic to the intelligence unit of the security outfit that shld rather monitor Togo for possible arrest. Gej is taking a bad step for future reference if at all |

I dont know, if any of you guys actually checked the link of this information. Its actually dated December 3, 2008 wonder why such news will break two years later All this witches against my country are at work again. |

There's no basis whatsoever for anyone to go back to the creek and take up arms. Anyone that can take up military weapons such as pocket launchers should face the full wrath of the law. We cannot afford to continue to beg criminals in the name of amnesty. GEJ has responsibility to quell any insurgence in any part of Nigeria and that he is busy doing. If you are affected, too bad. |

Alxmyr:You spoke my mind on this issue. Though it hurts but it's the truth we all must accept and live by. ND should find themselves meaningful jobs and also engage their leaders who steal vast percentage of what is ment for the development of the area! |
Re: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by Alxmyr(m): 2:48pm On Dec 03, 2010 |
The story was dated 2008. Whoever post this should be banned. She is a bunch of idio.t. |

Militants in the Niger Delta have attacked pipelines, kidnapped petroleum company employees and fought government troops since an insurgency began in 2006. The attacks cut drastically into crude production in Nigeria, an OPEC-member nation that is one of the top suppliers of crude oil to the U.S. Production has risen back to 2.2 million barrels of oil a day, in part because many militant leaders and fighters accepted the amnesty deal. Just wondering why these same army is not depolyed to the Northern part of Nigeria when there are civil/religious unrests. In any case, vandals caught blowing up pipelines in the Niger-Delta region should be dealt with, Hopefully, not innocent citizens of the Niger-Delta region. But who can tell the diference really? |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101203/wl_nm/us_nigeria_delta "My husband is dead, also my two brothers are dead. There is nowhere to go now," said Aunty Polobiri, one of scores of women sheltering in a warehouse outside the city of Warri who said they had fled the fighting around Ayakoroma. This is why we should wait before jumping to conclusions. |
Re: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by Beaf: 2:58pm On Dec 03, 2010 |
^ For you, it seems ok to wait, for some of us, we know better; there are some with first hand facts. Do you know the distance from Burutu area to Warri mainland where the scores of women interviewed have run away from? If you knew, that alone would tell you it isn't childs play. |

When this kind of bombardment happened last year during Yaradua's reign,some people said it was attack from the north,person's like Clarke talked.Now GEJ is involved,it is Nigerian Army,Clarke has not spoken.What the f, k is going on? |

Nigeria is an extension of Hell. Its government are blood drunk/blood sucking demons. Nigeria have fought another war after the civil war decades back so they are using innocent civilians to practice/testing military strength. And also stylishly reducing the Ijaw people just to make them weak and the government can have complete control of the oil without challenges. I am impressed. |

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/12/community-protests-as-jtf-continues-bombardment/ Community protests as JTF continues bombardment News Dec 3, 2010 By Emma Amaize WARRI — THE people of Ayakoromor community in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State have protested Wednesday’s bombardment and burning of their community by men of the Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger Delta, but the task force continued with its operation, yesterday, vowing that it would smoke out John Togo wherever he is hibernating. More persons reportedly lost their lives in the renewed offensive, yesterday. Among the casualties were a community leader, Jacob Mokor; 55-year-old Onitsha Kitua; a secondary school teacher, Bonny Mekuruno, a teenager identified as Benji, Nonaverhue Kalana, who escaped from his house when it was set ablaze and allegedly fired when he rushed out and Oyabrede. A music maestro whose name was given as Borere and Samuel Rubber were among the wounded. By Emma Amaize A villager told Vanguard, yesterday: ”All the houses in the waterfront were razed to the ground by soldiers and yesterday morning when the soldiers came again, some people who were still bleeding from the injuries sustained from Wednesday’s attack were killed.” Vice President of the Ayokoromor Federated Communities, Elder Bernard Brialade, Ayokoromor Urban chairman, Chief Albert Doutimiyebo and other leaders, who addressed newsmen on the recent development appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to restrain the task force from killing innocent civilians. Both media coordinator of the task force, Lt. Col Timothy Antigha declined to own up to any killing and arson by the task force when contacted, saying the JTF took over two militant camps, belonging to John Togo earlier on Wednesday and continued with its operation yesterday. He said the task force had earlier warned those residing near militant camps to vacate the areas, adding that people in camouflage army uniforms who were shooting at military aircrafts and soldiers could not have been civilians as claimed. However, Ogodobiri, Obotebe and other neighboring villages to Ayokoromor, which were horror-struck by the destruction carried out by the task force in Ayokoromor have also called on the task force not to attack the people. Elder Brialade and Chief Doutimiyebo said Ayokoromor people were shocked because the leaders of the community showed the task force the exact location of John Togo’s abandoned camp, which is about three kilometres from the town, yet, they bombarded innocent citizens under the guise of looking for Togo. “If men of the JTF who are armed to tooth can’t capture John Togo, who are we to do that. As at present, many of our people are displaced and are in the mangrove forest wallowing without direction. That is why we are calling on the Federal Government to call the JTF to stop further attacks on the community because at present over 60 persons have lost their lives and about 40 houses razed down”, they said. Reports from Ayakoromor said many people were still trapped in the forest and may die if they were not urgently rescued and given proper medical attention. However, JTF spokesman said the task force did not attack any community as had been speculated, saying the soldiers only took over militant camps and were in search of John Togo, whose photographs were everywhere and would not be mistaken for villagers. The councilor representing Ogodobiri community in Bomadi local government legislature, Hon. Geofrey Dibofa told Vanguard on phone, yesterday, that information available to him indicated that the JTF was planning to attack the community and called on the commander of the task force, Brigadier_General Charles Omoregie to restrict his soldiers to John_Togo and his NDLF fighters. The paramount ruler of Obotebe Kingdom, HRM, S. O Akenotubo, the Ebenanaowei of Obotebe kingdom, Burutu Local Government Area, Delta state also appealed to the JTF to exclude Obotebe from the ongoing feud with John Togo, saying the his town had nothing to do with habouring of militants. The royal father, who made the appeal, Thursday at his Warri residence, said the appeal was necessitated by the rumor making the round that the JTF would storm Obotebe soon to fetch out indigenes of Ayakoromor that had fled their for safety. “Obotebe is a peace loving kingdom and our people are scared of a perceived JTF invasion which might lead to death of innocent indigenes. The appeal is also necessary because we share a common boundary with Ayakoromor and innocent people who are afraid of the gun duel took refuge in Obotebe and it is now been rumored that we are hiding criminals. There is no militant in Obotebe because all the militants have already embraced the ongoing federal government amnesty programme and we are all aware of it,” he said. The monarch, while condemning the wanton destruction of the community by the JTF appealed to all militants to accept the ongoing Federal Government amnesty programme to enable peace reign in the Niger Delta. |

Re: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by angry9ja: 4:24pm On Dec 03, 2010 |
It is sad that Nigerian soldiers are carrying out these atrocities on the Niger Delta with instruction from Jonathan. Now the dye is cast . These methods of killing men a women and children and the elderly are very counter productive. The jtf have relatives and they have children. They have violated every code of decency by this act. Every body in the Niger Delta is a militant. Let us begin to defend ourselves agianst these thieving rulers. We must be ready to stand up to an army that will go to this extent of brutality. People in the Niger delta should start a guerrilla style method to defend themselves from these assaults. If IRAG can hold America with all its smarts bomb to a stand still for 10 years we can surely destroy a rag tag military like the jtf. This is our God given terrain. |
Re: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by Pappij: 4:43pm On Dec 03, 2010 |
Beaf: U definitely are an irritation. The news did broke yesterday on this, my point is the actual link sighted by the OP is flawed since the dates do not tally. Since you are interested in listening to some gory naija tale, fresh crisis are up again in plateau as 8 persons are confirmed dead, details are still sketchy and details will be available shortly, akpaamu |
Re: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by Tugbaski: 4:49pm On Dec 03, 2010 |
Alxmyr: Thank You. You made a very good point. Dint the CDS warn people to leave before the operation? I morn the loss of life , but This criminality must stop and if the only way to stop is military action, then so be it. Any responsible government will quell any insurgence that tries to put the nation at a standstill. I think the govt have been patient enough. If care is not taking, the different elasticities in Nigeria would take up arms too. |
