According to
Vanguard, there is division in the camp of the militant groups bombing oil installations
in the Niger Delta yesterday, as one of them, Reformed Egbesu Boys of Niger
Delta, unilaterally declared cessation of hostilities.
The Joint Revolutionary Council,
JRC, of the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force, JNDLF, had, Friday, indicated
it had accepted the window created by the Federal Government for dialogue, but
the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, maintained that it was not part of the
negotiations.
Vanguard Newspaper, yesterday,
gathered that government negotiators had penetrated many of the militant groups
and many would likely declare cessation of hostilities during the week and
embrace dialogue with government.
Many of the militants were furious
that some powerful forces have hijacked the struggle to the detriment of the
region and were merely using them as bargaining tool. The Reformed Egbesu Boys
of Niger Delta is at loggerheads with the NDA and JNDLF over their positions.
While it is on the same page with
JNDLF on cessation of hostilities, it disagreed with it on the release of
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, and former
National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), and other conditions.
