Scores of ex-militant leaders in Bayelsa State yesterday shunned an invitation to meet with the Police Command ahead of the re-run election in 101 units of Ekeremor, Sagbama, Ogbia and Nembe and the whole of Southern Ijaw Local Government.
Though Police’s invitation had indicated that the meeting was mandatory, Daily Sun investigation revealed that only two ex-militants, allegedly believed to be sympathetic to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) attended the meeting held behind closed doors.
Sources at the Police command confirmed that majority of the ex-militant leaders failed to show up for the meeting, a development that was said to have jolted the Commissioner of Police.
Spokesman to the command, Astimin Butwat, confirmed that the two ex-militant leaders attended the stakeholders meeting and that “the discussions were fruitful.”
