The amnesty programme of the Federal Government was again threatened on Thursday with the resolve by the national leader of the Phase Three ex-militants, Mr Trust Ekiobelemo and his followers, to go back to the creeks following the failure to accommodate them in the programme.

Mr Ekiobelemo, who spoke at Ewu in Ughelli South Council Area of Delta State during a meeting of the phase three ex-militants, also decried the continued detention without trial of ex-warlords by security agents.

He called on the international community to prevail on the government of Nigeria to release all their members detained in various police cells across the country.

He said members of his group were worried by the continuous detention of their members (phase three group members) who had earlier yielded to the Federal Government’s directive to surrender their arms and ammunition.

While describing the Federal Government as oppressive, the ex-militant leader noted that the amnesty programme had been hijacked by some politicians who see the programme as a cheap means of making money.

He threatened that if their demand for inclusion of the phase three batch and payment of their entitlements are not met, they might go back to the trenches.
