It does not require a PhD in security management and cross-border terror containment to know that the following are the ogbonge barons and cult leaders in the Niger Delta region:
(1) Dr. (Sir) Peter Odili (JP; MB; BS; Obafunminiyi of modern Ile-Ife; KSJ; GMG)
(2) Chief (Sir) Anthony Anenih (JP)
(3) General (Balogun) Okikiolakan Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo (GCFR; JP; OND Divinity)
(4) Chief James Ibori (JP)
(5) Chief (Squadron Leader) Diyepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha (JP)
(6) Dr. Abiye Sekibo (JP; MB; BS)
(7) Mr. Henry Okah (JP)
(8) Mr. Ateke Tom (JP)
(9) Barrister (Sir) Celestine Omehia (JP)
(10) Mr. Emma Okah (JP)
Once these ten (10) dangerous criminals are fished out and quarantined effectively, there will be peace throughout the Niger Delta, indeed the entire ECOWAS sub-region!
Muchas gracias, mis amigos.

*Lists 19 militants' dens in Delta, Bayelsa
*Accuses traditional rulers of being MEND members
THE Joint Task Force (JTF) otherwise known as Operation Restore Hope has identified 19 major and minor militant camps in the Niger Delta, their leaders, and arms/ammunition in their possession.
It has also accused top politicians including some governors in the area of emboldening and empowering the militants by visiting their dens without military escort.
In a secret document sent to the Chief of Defence Staff by the JTF Commander, Brigadier-General, now Major-General Lawrence Ngubane, the Task Force said: “It is disheartening that Camp 5 (a militant den in Delta State) has become a pilgrim centre for some important politicians, especially those from the Niger Delta.
These constant visitations to a known criminal legalise the activities of the militants, embolden them and empower them financially and emotionally.
“For example, the Governors of Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers states at various times after their inauguration visited Camp 5. Recently, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria also visited Camp 5 on 28 June, 2007 without security details accompanying him there just because the militants said so,” the JTF stated.
Accuses traditional rulers
It also said some traditional rulers in the Niger Delta were members of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and sought the approval of the Chief of Defence Staff for the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Air Force to sink the ships used by the militants who also operate as oil bunkerers on the high sea
Lists 19 militants' camps
The major militant camps identified by the JTF in Bayels State were Olugbobiri, headed by Joshua Mckiver; Korokosei whose leader is Africa Owei; Ikebiri I and II and Okiegbene/Ebrigben, led by Gibson Kala, also known as Prince Igodo.
The list also has Robert Creek and Cowthern Channel. The minor militant camps are Azuzuama, led by Commander Jackson, aka The Young Shall Grow; Ezetu, led by Victor Ben, Bilabiri, Agge- Victor Ben, Kurutiye, Forupa, Okubie and Clough Creek.
In Delta State, it listed three major militant camps: Camp five, Okerenko and Opuraza, all led by Government Ekpemupolo while the two minor militant camps were identified as Ubefan and Berger camps.
“Each of the major camps has strength of between 150 and 200 militants while minor camps have less than 100 men each,” the JTF stated, pointing out, however, that “attack by the military on any of them is likely to unite them against their common enemy.
Thus, each camp is capable of being reinforced up to 500 per cent of its regular strength in self defence and in support of any camp attacked by the military. So put together, the camps in Bayelsa and Delta states could muster over 1,000 and 800 militants respectively within hours if attacked by the military.
“However, they are not well trained, but are bold when under influence of hard drugs and believe that their charms protect and could save them from arms fire,” it said.
The Task Force stated that the arms, ammunition and equipment in the possession of the militants range from AK-47 to GPMG, BMG, RPG7, speedboats, gunboats and anti aircraft, confirmed to be in Camp 5.
“Every major camp has almost enough of the above support weapons as an infantry unit and sufficient personnel to counter any attack,” it added in the document.
Ngubane who outlined a military operation to root out the militants besides the political and psychological line of operations wanted approval to carry out massive attacks simultaneously on two major camps, one in Bayelsa and one in Delta State, saying the successful routing of major camps in both states would significantly reduce or eliminate militancy in the Niger Delta.
The document is already in the hands of the militants and it was when the leaders of the militant groups were holding peace talks with the Federal Government that they understood that the Federal Government had a different agenda and pulled out of the peace talks.
They suspected that the attack on Ateke Tom in Rivers State was one of the agenda of the JTF against the militants.
