Meanwhile, the fragile security situation in the Niger Delta region was, again, threatened, as the nine-year-old son of the wanted militant in the region, John Togo, Peres and the his elder sister, Mrs Patie Otoruna, were arrested by the Joint Task Force (JTF), on Sunday.

As of press time time, it could not be confirmed if the action was a bait to force the wanted militant leader to surrender to the authorities.

The Togos were being detained at the Third Battalion, Effurun, the headquarters of Delta sector of JTF.
Togo’s lawyer, Mr Carsley Omo-Irabor, who confirmed the arrest of the duo in a telephone interview with the Nigerian Tribune, asked the authorities of the JTF to release them with immediate effect.

Togo had, last week, asked the JTF to guarantee his safety and restrict the activities of the troops in the creeks as conditions for him to surrender to the security agency.

The spokesman of JTF, Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Antigha, however, denied knowledge of the arrest of the duo.

It is unlawful to arrest the relation of a criminal when such a person is not involved in the said crime. Many legal fellows in the House can expatiate on this.

But as usual, Jonathan's blind supporters may still justify this - at-least they have made it known the constitution and what is it means nothing (as long as the end benefits them).
