Militants Demand N500m From Agagu by smile4kenn(m): 11:58am On Aug 17, 2007
Biku who is referred to as the general officer commanding the militant group said that over 500 militants were mobilised from the entire Niger Delta (i.e. from Akwa Ibom to Ondo State) to ensure Agagu’s success at the poll.

“The arrangement on the ground are such that will not only embarrass the government but is capable of forcing Dr. Agagu to pack out of the state. The government should not forget too soon that we have duplicates of all the results of the elections that took place in our camp. If that happens the government should take the blame,” Biku said.

But the Governor denied ever reaching an agreement with the militant group nor any group for his re-election.

The governor who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Yemi Olowolabi, to our correspondent on the telephone said that he did not need to sign any pact with any militant before winning an election.

According to him, the governor did not enter into any agreement with the militants either by himself or by proxy.
